"Manufacturing in China and Vietnam" ~ Doing Business in China and Southeast Asia - Real World Perspective by Scott Ellyson, CEO, East West Manufacturing. Co-sponsored by GT Ciber, The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, China Research Center, and Georgia China Alliance.
Ten years ago, Scott Ellyson and Jeff Sweeney co-founded East West Manufacturing in Atlanta to bring U.S.-based companies both the cost-savings and speed to market offered by Asian manufacturing. They began by forging partnerships with a number of manufacturing facilities in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan and India, and later purchased factories for their team to operate in Changzhou, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Learn how they have accomplished this success and what this means for U.S. competitiveness.
