During her tour Schmidt held a roundtable discussion with business leaders from around Greater Cincinnati to learn more about how federal policies and regulation affect Siemens particularly and manufacturing broadly. She also toured the facility and met with workers. The roundtable and tour was led by Anne Cooney, president, Drive Technologies Division, Siemens Industry.
“On behalf of Siemens and our employees, I thank Congresswoman Schmidt for championing the causes that will help manufacturers thrive in Ohio and across the United States,” said Anne Cooney, president, Drive Technologies Division, Siemens Industry, Inc. “We’re fortunate to have Jean Schmidt in our corner, advocating policies that will enable us to grow through innovation, job creation and sustainability efforts to stay ahead of global competition.”
