President Trump toured UniCarriers Americas (UCA) dealer H&K Equipment Inc. in Coraopolis, PA, on January 18.\u00a0 During his visit, the President outlined the benefits of his new tax plan for small businesses and reiterated his support for American industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe signs of America\u2019s comeback can be seen at companies like H&K Equipment, which just had its most successful year in its 35 year history,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
He added that H&K would soon make a $2.7 million capital investment as a direct result of his tax plan, signaling more growth and more jobs from the already thriving dealership.<\/p>\n
Addressing an estimated crowd of 700 people, President Trump praised H&K as the \u201cideal American business\u201d and commended its strong ties to the local and national economy. The President\u2019s visit also put a spotlight on the economic value and importance of American manufacturers like UniCarriers Americas.<\/p>\n
In attendance was UCA President James J. Radous III, who regarded the visit as the climax of a true American success story.<\/p>\n

President Trump toured UniCarriers Americas (UCA) dealer H&K Equipment Inc. in Coraopolis, PA.<\/p><\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of H&K Equipment, not just for their business success, but for their strong commitment to their customers and to their local economy,\u201d said Radous.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I\u2019ve stated before, forklifts are at the heart of commerce. As American manufacturers, we see it at a national level and small businesses like H&K Equipment really shine light on this impact at a state level. It\u2019s exciting to see President Trump take notice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Radous visited Washington in June to meet with legislators, including Illinois Representatives Randy Hultgren and Peter Roskam, as well as U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, to discuss the critical impact forklifts have on commerce. Hultgren and Durbin have visited UniCarriers Marengo facility (the latter in August) praising the company as a successful Illinois business that has added automation while re-training current staff and adding skilled labor.<\/p>\n
As part of a growing narrative, more and more emphasis is being put on the material handling industry\u2019s heavy economic impact on the United States economy \u2013 which is estimated to be around $25.7 billion.<\/p>\n
UniCarriers Americas is an American manufacturer based in Marengo, Illinois. The company currently employs over 500 people at its facility and has been cited for its retention of employees while increasing automation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
