You\u2019re creating things that are available on a global basis. You\u2019re competing with the best around the world, and you\u2019re winning.

According to James J. Radous III, president of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/unicarriers-americas-corporation\/\">UniCarriers Americas Corporation<\/a>, the tax reform plan will benefit both UCA individuals and the company. UCA\u2019s corporate tax rates will go from 35 percent to a flat 21 percent, freeing up additional resources for growth and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4987\" style=\"width: 498px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4987\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4987\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-09-at-07.45.03.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"488\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-09-at-07.45.03.png 488w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-09-at-07.45.03-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-09-at-07.45.03-346x230.png 346w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-09-at-07.45.03-440x292.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">UniCarriers Americas Corporation is an Illinois-based forklift manufacturer.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly humbling to experience three congressional leaders who have taken notice of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/unicarriers-americas-corporation\/\">UniCarriers Americas<\/a>\u2019 impact on the economy and how we compete in the marketplace,\u201d said Radous. \u201cThe hard work and success of UCA has been recognized by both the marketplace and among our nation\u2019s leaders as a company that is doing things right by continuously growing its staff and adding automation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Roskam represents the 6th district of Illinois and serves as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Tax Policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA), an Illinois-based forklift manufacturer, hosted U.S. Representative Peter Roskam (IL-R) at its Marengo facility on May 2.
