In his current role as President, Zach works not only to increase business with new and existing customers, but also to engage in outreach, develop strategy, and find operational improvements at Atlas and the family’s related businesses including Accushim Inc. and Abet Industries.
Zach is an advocate for the value and importance of domestic manufacturing in any healthy state or national economic model and has testified before Congress on several occasions.
Zach serves on many boards and organizations including, the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), the Cyber Security Committee at MXD, and Illinois Military Economic Development Committee.
The report documents how goods subject to higher U.S. tariffs are routinely rerouted through lower-tariff countries, undermining both tariff enforcement and American manufacturing.
For years, the de minimis loophole allowed foreign shippers to send packages valued at up to $800 into the United States duty-free, tax-free, and with virtually no customs scrutiny — so long as the foreign vendor merely alleged the value was below the threshold.
The companies that spent a year insisting tariffs were a tax on consumers are now cashing the refund checks themselves.
Today’s Section 232 proclamation secures that foundation, and the entire structure is built to reward one thing: manufacturing in America. Companies investing in U.S. polysilicon, wafer, and cell production are the clear winners, and companies that continue to rely on imports will be at a disadvantage.
