Makes Major Multi-Year Commitment Louisville – A leading Kentucky environmental testing company, McCoy & McCoy Laboratories, Inc., has formed a three-year, major underwriting and promotional partnership with the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers (KAM), according to Andrew C. Meko, president of KAM. Under the terms of the promotional partnership, McCoy Labs (www.mccoylabs.com) will become a major underwriter of KAM’s trademarked and branded “CleanKentucky sm” advocacy initiative. “It is critically important for the Kentucky manufacturing industry to protect our environment while producing goods for the global economy,” says Meko. “McCoy Labs will help our 4,000-plus manufacturers remain compliant with state, local and federal regulations.” KAM is the only statewide trade association that exclusively focuses on the powerful manufacturing industry, which contributes 20 percent of the state gross product, more than twice that of the next commercial segment, real estate. “McCoy Labs understands that Kentucky’s entire economy greatly depends on the future of manufacturing,” says Meko. “Not only are 260,000 high-paying jobs with benefits at stake, so are hundreds of thousands of other jobs that directly and indirectly depend on us.” “Through this long-term agreement with KAM, we are making a commitment to a cleaner environment for Kentucky and the future prosperity of our children and grandchildren,” says Barclay McCoy, president and CEO of McCoy & McCoy Laboratories, Inc. and a member of KAM’s Board of Directors. “We believe KAM is uniquely positioned to provide strong and powerful leadership across the Commonwealth for the manufacturing sector.” “This agreement is a perfect marriage,” says Meko. “McCoy Labs has been a great partner of Kentucky manufacturing and perfectly understands that we must deal with challenges no other industry or business association can understand, let alone solve.” About McCoy & McCoy Laboratories, Inc.
