J.D. Vance on Compotech in Maine: ‘This Is Exactly the Type of Company that We Want to See Thrive’

EXCERPT:

VANCE: “Yeah, well, this has been one of the great success stories in Maine, but also in the country. This is a company that builds things that our troops need, that keeps our troops safe, but really has tried to do it the right way. They hire local people. They don’t rely on private equity. This is a local business that has developed locally, that has grown locally, and it does a very, very good service for the United States of America. So, very proud to be here. And this is exactly the type of company that we want to see thrive. The whole approach of the Trump Administration economic policy has been to reindustrialize the country, to rebuild American manufacturing. So, we obviously saw a lot of heartache and a lot of job losses over the last 10, 15 years in this community. This is an example of a company that is hiring local workers and rebuilding the local community in the process. We really love to be here.”
