On August 12th, Consul-General Kato participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for a new local plant being built in Jackson, TN by Pacific Industrial Co., Ltd. Mr. Shinya Ogawa, President of Pacific Industrial, and Mr. Hisaichi Seko, President of the soon-to-be-built Pacific Manufacturing Tennessee, Inc., were welcomed by numerous state and local officials. Among the welcoming crowd were Gov. Haslam, Madison County Mayor Harris, Jackson Mayor Gist and many others. Consul-General Kato expressed his appreciation to Governor Haslam and all of the members of Team Madison County for their efforts to support the new project. Consul-General Kato then noted that Governor Haslam’s administration is “carrying on a tradition of support and friendship that extends back through every administration, to at least the 1970s and the days of former Governor, now Senator, Lamar Alexander.” He also offered his “…personal congratulations and best wishes for a successful and prosperous future.”
