Encore was highly honored recently to have the unique opportunity to meet with the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency, Ambassador Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi. In his first visit to a US company, outside Washington, DC in his capacity as ambassador, the Ambassador met with the Encore leadership team at Encore’s corporate office in La Vista, NE. The discussion focused on opportunities between our mutually respectful countries. The Ambassador communicated that Kuwait is committed to strengthening the bonds between our allied countries through increased commercial applications and investment. Encore explained its vital role in providing energy to key industrial markets, foundational principals of doing business in the Midwest, and the instrumental drivers to Encore’s rapid growth and success. Many commonalities emerged around the value of trusted relationships, reliability, and the advantage of remaining nimble due to the relative size of the parties in their respective markets. Encore feels privileged and is grateful for this opportunity, and both parties look forward to continued conversations. The National US-Arab Chamber of Commerce was responsible for facilitating this meeting.
