You may not know much about York, PA, unless you’re a Harley-Davidson fan. This small city in the South Central region of the state is home to a Harley-Davidson Vehicle Operations facility. It is here where the popular Touring, Softail®, CVO™ and Trike motorcycle models are assembled and parts like frames, fuel tanks, and fenders are manufactured. York is also like a second home to me – but what I’m starting to realize is that my connection to the city extends far beyond my personal life.
I joined Xplore in November 2014, and I knew from day one that Xplore was helping companies of all sizes and in all industries modernize their operations using rugged mobile technologies. I also knew when I was getting my degree at York College that the city of York held a lot of historical significance. What I didn’t realize is that York would have such an influential role in the work that I’m doing now at Xplore to drive a new wave of manufacturing capabilities in the United States (U.S.) and around the world…
You see, York is considered by many to be the first capital of the United States. The Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Continental Congress there, and it was in York that the phrase “The United States of America” was first officially spoken. But the city’s impact on our nation’s livelihood didn’t end in 1777.
