Kentucky Association of Manufacturers

Our KAM Q1 Energy Roundtable is in the books and was another fascinating dialogue among business leaders from across Kentucky, who gathered to hear again from world class energy experts. At this week’s meeting, those experts were Chris Nolan, Duke Energy Corporation’s top nuclear executive, and John Bevington, PPL Corporation’s senior economic development executive. Our thanks as well to Alan Manche and Paige Van Zandt-Moody of Schneider Electric, who hosted us at Schneider’s Lexington Smart Factory, a World Economic Forum award-winning facility; and to our Roundtable Chair, DJ Lutz of Wacker Chemical Corporation USA. #CoolestThingKY #KYmanufacturing #KYinnovation #USA
