Brewer Science Commends Congress for Pro-Manufacturing, Pro-Innovation Legislation

News

The doors to new innovation and opportunities for American manufacturing were flung wide open today with final passage of a pro-manufacturing bill strongly supported by Brewer Science and its president and founder, Dr. Terry Brewer.  The legislation would establish a Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NMI) to position the United States as the global leader in advanced manufacturing.

Dr. Brewer, who testified before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee in support of the bipartisan Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act, lauded its passage and praised the bill's sponsors, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO), U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), U.S. Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY 23), and U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA 4), calling them "champions of American manufacturing and innovation."

"This landmark legislation will help ensure the United States remains a global leader in advanced manufacturing and innovation," said Dr. Brewer.  "It will provide a much-needed manufacturing network that will help the private sector successfully develop emerging technologies, which will lead to new products and new advanced manufacturing jobs.  As one of the nation's leading advanced manufacturers, we are overjoyed by the passage of this legislation, and we commend the leadership of its sponsors."

Brewer Science helped lead a nationwide coalition in conjunction with several manufacturing organizations, including Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), to support the legislation.

Dr. Brewer said Senator Roy Blunt deserves special praise for his leadership in advancing the bill across the finish line with his leadership position in the U.S. Senate and his service on both the Commerce Committee and Appropriations Committee.  The legislation was included as part of an omnibus spending bill enacted by both chambers of Congress.  The bill now goes to President Obama for his signature.

The Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act will help accelerate manufacturing innovation in advanced technology areas by leveraging resources to bridge the gap between basic research performed at U.S. universities and research laboratories and product commercialization conducted by U.S. manufacturers. The initiative will establish Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation (IMIs) and link them to form a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI). This network of hubs will lead American efforts in developing and producing the next generation of manufactured products.
