Leipzig Consul General Mark Scheland paid a visit to the Anchor Lamina company, a U.S. manufacturer of steel constructions, die and mold components and complete assemblies for the tool making, automotive and print industries. Afterwards, Scheland and Anchor Lamina CEO Wolfgang Neubert joined the “Chemnitzer Mittagskreis,” a monthly gathering of local business leaders, where the Consul General promoted, before 50 business representatives, the benefits of the recently concluded U.S.-EU treaty, designed to eliminate current transatlantic trade obstacles. In the subsequent open discussion, Scheland also explained Consulate services offered to the business community and presented the Eastern German Teachers Visitor Program (EGTVP).
