Tour of BAKUSA Headquarters
October 29, 2018 @ 11:15 am - 4:30 pm
Time: Sign-in at 3:15 pm; Tour at 3:30 pm; Dinner at 5:30 pm
Tour Abstract: Back in the ‘90s, J.P. and Ulla Bak emigrated to the U.S. to establish the EMX Corporation, a microchip company in California.
Roughly a decade later, the Baks—along with their children, Eva and Christian—devoted themselves to earthquake relief efforts in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Committed to creating jobs and sparking innovation in the community, the Baks worked with USAID to build Sûrtab S.A., the first tablet PC manufacturing facility in Haiti.
Having established a successful social enterprise abroad, the Baks were eager to recreate the same social, technological, and economic impact in the United States.
So they brought their people-centric business model to Buffalo, New York—and Bak USA was born.
Dinner Choices: Dinner selections will be off of Big Ditch’s menu, selections to be made during on-line registration. Drinks from the brewery’s selection will be available on a cash basis.
Cost: ASME Members $25, Non Members $30, students $15
