Ken Wasylik appointed to the Wisconsin District Export Council
Earlier this year, Ken Wasylik was appointed to the Wisconsin District Export Council. Ken will be working with fellow international trade colleagues to support the Council’s mission to educate and counsel American businesses on global trade opportunities.

Looking to Diversify outside of China?
EMW assists companies expanding operations in Asia, whether it be sourcing, exporting, or entering new markets. Many companies are realizing that they cannot depend solely on China for their sourcing needs, and are looking at ASEAN countries to fill the gaps in their supply chains. By collaborating with our strategic partner, Asian Insiders, EMW grows businesses throughout Asia and helps companies implement their own China-Plus-One strategies.
How has the COVID-19 Pandemic Affected Midwest Manufacturing?
Manufacturing has always been one of the strongest industries in the Midwest region of the United States. In fact, the employment share of production in the Midwest is about one and a half times the national average with even stronger numbers in states like Indiana and Wisconsin. However, when the pandemic hit in 2019, many of the region’s manufacturers struggled.
The industry has certainly bounced back, but the region hopefully learned some important lessons. Check out EMW’s blog on how COVID-19 impacted the manufacturing industry in the Midwest!
