"It was an excellent opportunity to discover the many assets within Akron and throughout Ohio. Having the chance to speak in detail with Mayor Plusquellic and his team just shows how much the city is committed to building strong international partnerships, and to make Akron a place for foreign companies seeking to establish a U.S. presence to call home. We will not forget it!"
