Washington, D.C. – The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) announced that Karl Hutter, president and CEO of Click Bond, Inc., has been named to the NAM Board of Directors. Hutter will join the NAM Board to advance a manufacturing policy agenda that promotes growth and prosperity for all Americans.

Founded in 1895, the NAM, guided by its Board of Directors, is the largest industrial trade association in the United States with more than 14,000 members and is the nation’s most influential advocate for manufacturing. The NAM’s membership includes some of the world’s most iconic brands, and many of the small manufacturers who power the U.S. economy. More than 90 percent of our members are small and medium-sized businesses.

The NAM is at the forefront of every important policy debate for manufacturers. Executives on the NAM Board, which comprises leaders representing companies of all sizes in every industrial sector, are the driving force behind the NAM’s advocacy efforts.  

“I am honored to carry on the work of our co-founder, Collie Hutter, and assume a seat on the NAM Board on behalf of Click Bond,” said Hutter. “Our elected officials in Washington, D.C., must understand how their work affects the more than 12 million men and women employed in manufacturing and what our sector contributes to U.S. economic and national security. I look forward to sharing my story and my experiences—and the stories of all manufacturers—to strengthen our economy and create more rewarding careers for Americans.”

“Karl is a true leader in our industry, and he will bring valuable insights to the NAM Board of Directors,” said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons. “Karl knows what it takes to succeed in a changing global economy and the kinds of solutions, such as bold, comprehensive tax reform, we need to see from our elected leaders. With his voice and leadership, the NAM will be an even more effective advocate for our more than 14,000 members and for the industry that is the backbone of our country.”
