  • South Carolina, Are Writing to Express Our Strong Support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement
    May 23, 2016 The Honorable Jeff Duncan U.S. House of Representatives 106 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Duncan: We, the 111 of undersigned companies, associations and organizations active in South Carolina, are writing to express our strong support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. The TPP is critical to the future growth of trade, jobs, prosperity and competitiveness of the United States, and for South Carolina in particular. The Asia-Pacific will continue to be the most vibrant region in the global economy for the foreseeable future. Yet, we are falling behind, as other countries that have negotiated preferential trade agreements in the region place our manufacturers, innovators, service providers, farmers and ranchers, and workers at a competitive disadvantage. Approval of the TPP will close the gap, and place U.S. companies, farmers and ranchers, and workers at the center of this dynamic regional economy. Our state exported $1.0 billion worth of agricultural products and $10.6 billion of manufactured goods to TPP countries in 2015, and $1.5 billion of services to TPP countries in 2014. Our state's goods exports to the world supported an estimated 153,816 jobs in 2014. By cutting tariffs and red tape and eliminating other market distortions on our goods, installing critical new rules for the digital economy and services trade, and establishing stronger protections for transparency, innovation and intellectual property – subject to strong enforcement – the TPP will help our manufacturers, innovators, service providers, and farmers and ranchers export more, produce more and thereby support more jobs in South Carolina.

March 20 www.milwaukeesae.com A little background about Mercury Marine... Since the company was founded in 1939, Mercury has consistently emphasized quality, performance, innovation and reliability. Today, that pledge remains as strong as ever. Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation of Lake Forest, Illinois, began as the Kiekhaefer Corporation of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, when Carl Kiekhaefer and a small but dedicated staff of employees sought to design and produce the best possible boat engine. For 75 years, Mercury Marine has been the most recognized name in the marine industry, and the memory of its founder lives on in the hearts and minds of engineers and boat enthusiasts alike. As each goal was accomplished it was replaced by another. That tradition has resulted in a literal embodiment of the Great American Dream. From a modest and inauspicious start, Mercury has grown into an industry leader recognized worldwide for its ability to foresee and fulfill the needs of its consumers. At Mercury Marine, we understand why our customers love being on the water. And that’s why we do what we do: engineer, build, and provide the best marine power in the world.
