Link-Belt Cranes featured in video celebrating America’s equipment manufacturing employees

Link-Belt Cranes, a proud member of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), is featured in “The Makers,” a new national campaign that celebrates the men and women who make the equipment that builds, powers, and feeds the world.

Produced by AEM, “The Makers” shines a light on the skilled and dedicated individuals whose hands, craftsmanship, and pride drive the equipment manufacturing industry forward. The series includes three short films and a unifying anthem video that connects the stories of makers from across the country.

Link-Belt’s video spotlights Sarah Burns, whose story represents the values of Link-Belt Cranes and the equipment manufacturing industry as a whole.

“We take great pride in being a mobile crane manufacturer to lift America’s economy both literally and figuratively,” said Melvin Porter, Link-Belt Cranes President and CEO. “Every crane we design and manufacture represents the skill, innovation, and dedication of American workers. We proudly support AEM’s ‘The Makers’ campaign because it spotlights the people, the equipment, and the stories moving our nation forward. It’s vital that we empower these hardworking men and women through sound manufacturing and infrastructure policies to sustain the industries that keep America strong.”

“Sarah Burns is a strong example of the passion and pride that define our industry,” said Kip Eideberg, Senior Vice President of Government and Industry Relations at AEM. “This campaign is a celebration of the people that make our industry strong, the communities they support, and the values they represent: hard work, ingenuity, and the belief that what you make matters.”

AEM will be launching a six-figure ad buy in Washington, D.C., to promote the campaign, calling on policymakers to recognize the economic impact of the industry and pass pro-manufacturing policies that will enable more equipment to be made in America.
