AEM awarded its Pillar of the Industry honours to HCC, Inc, recognizing the company's exceptional contributions to AEM's advocacy efforts, grassroots engagement, and public affairs initiatives. The Pillar of the Industry Award is AEM's top advocacy award and reflects a commitment to advancing the industry's policy priorities at every level of government.
AEM also recognized this year's Silver and Bronze Advocacy Award recipients, whose partnership and engagement were instrumental in amplifying the industry's priorities over the past year.
The 2025 Advocacy Award honourees were announced during the 2025 AEM Annual Conference in Miami, Florida. The event brought together industry executives, policymakers, and thought leaders for three days of strategic discussions on the trends shaping the future of equipment manufacturing.
"Our industry's influence continues to grow because our member companies show up," said AEM president and CEO Megan Tanel. "HCC, Inc., this year's Pillar of the Industry Award recipient, is a strong example of a company dedicated to standing up for our industry and helping shape a policy environment that supports jobs, strengthens supply chains, and fuels innovation. We are proud to recognize their commitment, and the commitment of all of our 2025 AEM Advocacy Awards honorees, to building a stronger future for equipment manufacturing."
"The companies we are recognizing with Gold awards this year exemplify what it means to be true advocates for our industry," said Kip Eideberg, AEM senior vice president of Government and Industry Relations. "Their engagement has been critical in advancing pro-manufacturing policies and ensuring that our elected officials understand the real-world impact of their decisions. "It is thanks to the close partnership with this group of member companies that we continue to successfully advance policy solutions to our nation's toughest challenges."
