Hon Hai Technology Group, the world’s largest technology manufacturing and service provider, announced that Jerry Hsiao, Chief Product Officer and General Manager of the U.S. Regional Headquarters, has been invited by the National Association of Manufacturers ( NAM ) to officially join the NAM Board of Directors to help promote the competitiveness of the U.S. manufacturing industry and related policy initiatives.
As the largest and most influential manufacturing association in the United States, NAM was founded in 1895 and is composed of leaders from various industries. It is responsible for promoting policies, industrial development, talent education, digital transformation and other missions. NAM has more than 200 board members , all of whom are top manufacturing executives in the United States, covering all industries, including large and small and medium-sized enterprises, of which about 80% are from Fortune 100 manufacturing companies. In the future, Xiao Caiyou will work with other industry representatives to promote more forward-looking industrial policies and strengthen the global competitive advantage of the U.S. manufacturing industry.
"I am honored to join the NAM board of directors. This is an excellent opportunity and platform to promote the development and innovation of the American manufacturing industry!" said Xiao Caiyou. "Foxconn currently has more than 6,000 employees in Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, Virginia and California . The United States is an important part of Foxconn's global manufacturing footprint. In the future, we will actively seek more local cooperation opportunities to promote industry innovation and sustainable growth."
The U.S. manufacturing industry is at a critical inflection point, and NAM is calling on the federal government to put forward a clear, actionable, and common-sense strategy to promote investment in the United States and enhance our overall competitiveness and success.
“Jerry ’s joining NAM will be a strong addition as a business representative with a proven track record of commitment to industry,” said Jay Timmons, NAM President and CEO. “ Jerry will be a key partner in advancing manufacturing competitiveness policies and further amplifying the voice and influence of manufacturers across the country. I look forward to working with him to advocate for American manufacturing while promoting the core values that make America great and our industry strong – free enterprise, competitiveness, individual liberty, and equal opportunity.”
Hon Hai Technology Group is committed to deepening its global layout and actively participating in the application of high-end technologies and localized operations in manufacturing industries around the world. The election of Hsiao Tsai-yu as a member of the NAM board of directors is a symbol of the renewed recognition of Foxconn's commitment and influence in the development of the U.S. manufacturing industry.
