After Years of Fighting Chinese Dumping, This Manufacturer is Growing. Biden Saw It for Himself.

Auburn Manufacturing Inc. (AMI) CEO Kathie Leonard built her
textile company from the ground up in a male-dominated industry
decades ago. So when China’s dumping of heavily subsidized silica
fabric made her company go sideways, she fought tooth and nail for
her business and its workers. She won. In August, President Biden
spotlighted AMI as an industrial policy success story. Listen in
for the story behind AMI’s founding, fight against China, and the
president’s momentous visit. Photo courtesy of Auburn Manufacturing
