The Plastics Industry Association’s (PLASTICS’) President & CEO Bill Carteaux has officially taken the helm of the Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA) for a one-year term.
The group, an important arm of the National Association of Manufacturing (NAM), consists of 260 industry-specific manufacturing associations that unites the manufacturing community, and ultimately the broader business community, on the common goals of strengthening the industry for more jobs, investment and innovation.
Carteaux’s theme for his chairmanship? “We Made That.”
“Manufacturers contribute greatly to the economy. Everything we make touches each and every person in this world,” Carteaux said. “Yet, the average person doesn’t appreciate what we do. Manufacturers need to do a better job at telling “our story”. My theme for this year is ‘We Made That’ so we can highlight our contributions to the economy.”
Stay tuned for more updates on CMA’s important contributions to manufacturing, and to plastics, throughout Bill’s term and beyond. Check out Bill's Facebook Live segment at the CMA Winter Leadership Conference here.

Op-Ed: Domestic Manufacturing Needs Tax Bill Expensing Reforms
December 18, 2017 In D.C., discussions on the tax bill can quickly turn to politics, messaging, process, and winners and losers, whether it applies to an industry, region, or tax bracket. But engage with a manufacturer about the tax bill, and the conversation consistently turns to specific provisions that promote domestic manufacturing and economic activity. For many industries, the expensing provisions are the central issue to consistent business growth and planning, new innovations and jobs.
