US Congressman visits APC International, Ltd.

MACKEYVILLE, Pa., Feb 1, 2011 – United States Congressman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson and Alan Gehringer, the Executive Director of the IMC in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, visited APC International, Ltd. today. The purpose of Thompson’s visit was to gain an understanding of the role that small and medium sized manufacturing businesses will play to bring the US economy out of the current recession and how the IMC, a public private partnership, is able to assist small and medium sized manufacturers with finding solutions to the problems they face as they begin to expand their operations in response to increasing sales. While at APC International, Thompson was provided with a tour of the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and was able to speak with Ian Henderson, President of APC International, as well as many of the company’s other employees.

Following Thompson’s visit, Henderson remarked, “As the recession draws to a close, we at APC will push to increase both our capacity and our capabilities in order to guarantee our customer’s complete satisfaction. The guidance that we receive from our IMC Business Advisor enables APC to expand in a way that benefits both our customers and employees.”
