There, she signed the Golden Book of the city after an enthusiastic discussion about the transatlantic partnership with the mayor, who shared the history of American settlers from Siegen: In 1714, a group of immigrants from the Siegen region began arriving in Virginia. The first group of twelve families founded what is now known as the ‘first Germana Colony.
Consul General Kao’s day in Siegen ended at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, where she engaged in a fruitful discussion with Arnold Vetter (Managing Director of VETTER Industrie GmbH), Alexander Brand (CEO of BLEFA Beverage Systems GmbH), Wolfgang Ermert (CEO of Dr. Ing. Kaupert GmbH), Christopher Buch (CFO of Heinrich Georg GmbH), and Jens Brill, Head of IHK Olpe. All companies have investments in the USA, making the exchange particularly hands-on
A heartfelt thank you to everyone in Siegen who made Consul General Kao’s day during the NRW-USA Year unforgettable. NRW is strong because of its diverse regions and renowned, specialized Mittelstand (mid-sized businesses). The U.S. Consulate is proud to be a partner and supporter for the entire Siegerland region.
