As National Manufacturing Day approaches this Friday, we're proud to recognize the manufacturers behind Walmart products, who play a pivotal role in creating opportunities for our communities and workforce. Kent International Inc. is a great example of this. They've assembled millions of bikes at their South Carolina factory, including Walmart's Ozark Trail mountain bike line, and have been instrumental in revitalizing bicycle manufacturing in the U.S.
In this episode of The Huddle, I join Arnold Kamler, CEO of Kent International Inc., at their Manning, SC factory to talk about his journey working with Walmart and how they've evolved our Ozark Trail line. Arnold also shares valuable advice for anyone considering establishing manufacturing assembly in the U.S.
When I was a kid, my first bike was from Walmart – and I know many of our customers got their start cycling the same way. As you shop for the holidays, consider checking out Ozark Trail bikes, knowing the significant impact each one has on people right here in the United States.
