BAY CITY, Mich. — Kelly Loeffler, the 28th Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) traveled to Bay City, Michigan, today with Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance to emphasize the Trump Administration’s commitment to supporting American manufacturing. As part of the visit, Administrator Loeffler highlighted SBA’s Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, a new effort within the agency designed to empower small manufacturers.
Administrator Loeffler joined Vice President Vance at Vantage Plastics, a small business that manufactures plastics for the automotive, agriculture and medical industries.
Following a tour of the facilities, Administrator Loeffler delivered remarks about the importance of restoring American industry to create good-paying jobs, secure supply chains, promote fair trade, and bring back the blue-collar boom of the First Trump Administration. Vice President Vance spoke about America’s economic comeback and the important role that American manufacturing will play in restoring opportunity and prosperity.
As part of the Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, SBA will cut $100 billion in burdensome regulation, expand access to capital, invest in workforce development, and build a dedicated infrastructure to help small manufacturers thrive. The agency will also support President Trump’s pro-growth economic policies, including fair trade practices and tax cuts for manufacturers.
