Dear Friends and Allies,

As we begin the new year, thank you for all we accomplished in 2024.

Together, we won critical legislative victories and shaped administrative rulings. We helped build momentum for a new tariff policy and were acknowledged by the White House for our role.  Our voices were heard loud and clear across national media. Your steadfast commitment to strengthening our nation’s PPE and medical supply chain and ensuring the availability of our lifesaving products has been invaluable.

As we do each month, this letter accompanies a selection of recent news clippings highlighting the impactful work of domestic PPE and medical supply producers like you and a review of key industry issues. These articles speak to the importance of your efforts and the growing recognition of domestic manufacturing as a critical element of our national resilience.

As one presidential administration ends and another begins, we are entering a period of great opportunity. This transition offers a chance to reinforce and expand policies prioritizing domestic manufacturing, ensuring a more self-reliant and secure supply chain for our healthcare system and other essential industries.

Moreover, Congress has demonstrated enthusiasm for supporting domestic manufacturing. The path forward is filled with potential. Recent legislative actions and bipartisan interest in bolstering U.S. manufacturing signal that the momentum is on our side. By advocating for strong, forward-looking policies, I know we can achieve significant milestones in growing our sector, creating jobs, and enhancing our nation’s preparedness for future challenges.

I also extend a heartfelt thank you to our members who engaged with the media this past year. By sharing your stories, expertise, and perspectives, you have helped raise awareness about the importance of domestic PPE production. Your voices are vital in shaping public opinion and influencing policymakers, and your efforts do not go unnoticed.

As we look ahead to the coming year, let us remain united in our mission to build a more substantial, resilient domestic manufacturing base. Together, as a community, we can seize the opportunities before us and continue to drive meaningful progress for our industry and our nation.

Thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and commitment. Your work is truly making a significant difference and we deeply appreciate your efforts.

With appreciation and optimism,
Eric
