Solco Plumbing Supply Honors Domestic Manufacturing with America First 2012 Trade Show on November 15th
NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1965, manufacturing accounted for 53% of the domestic economy; by 2004 it was down to 9%. Between February 2001 and February 2012, the United States lost one third of the remaining manufacturing jobs. In addition, manufacturing employment has declined by tens of thousands of jobs in the past month alone. The gravity of these facts has not escaped Solco Plumbing Supply, a New York City-based plumbing supply distributor, who is taking action to spread awareness about the decline in domestic manufacturing.
On Thursday, November 15th 2012, Solco will host "America First 2012," a trade show focusing exclusively on American made plumbing products. Solco will bring over 300 trade plumbers, developers, architects and designers together with over 50 of America's leading plumbing and heating manufacturers. Kohler, Delta, Charlotte Pipe and GE are just a few among the many American manufacturers that have committed to support this function. These companies represent the finest, most recognized lineup of domestic manufacturing in the plumbing supply industry. They have a story to tell, and Solco wants to help them tell it.
The event will be held at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, on Thursday, November 15, 2012 between the hours of 4:00pm - 8:00pm. At the America First 2012 trade show, customers will have an opportunity to get to know America's manufacturers and what they stand for.
In addition to bringing customers and vendors together, Solco will be celebrating American manufacturing by giving away several raffle prizes, all of which are made in America. The grand prize in the drawing is season tickets to the New York Mets.
Solco Plumbing Supply is a 50-year-old family-owned plumbing supply with locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
