Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik participated in a tour of ACCO USA and held a manufacturing roundtable with local elected officials and business leaders in Ogdensburg. ACCO USA distributes their products throughout America, as well as the entirety of Canada.

“I enjoyed speaking with and hearing from local business leaders and elected officials about the importance of manufacturing local products to distribute throughout our country and Canada, our greatest economic partner,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “We had a productive discussion about U.S. – Canadian trade and border issues, workforce development, and the need for greater infrastructure in the North Country. I also had the opportunity to tour ACCO USA and got an inside look into their manufacturing process. Thank you to all who attended for your continued support and advocacy for local manufacturing and business. It is a privilege to partner with you on working to create economic opportunity in our region.”
