Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the U.S. over the last 5 years is over $1.6 Trillion and accounts for an average 500,000 new U.S. jobs per year. FDI is 99% from countries whose nationals can presently immigrate within a few years and as a result, we see large investment in US economy by these foreign nationals.

In 2018, new FDI in the US was $296,368,000,000 – 86% is from Canada and Europe. Less than 1% of it came from India and China (0.15% came from India and 0.6% was from China).

H.R. 1044 and S. 386 “Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019” will bar immigration for 99% of FDI nationals. The House passed and the Senate is considering this legislation, which will radically change workforce immigration in this country. S. 386 and H.R. 1044 will effectively bar investment and workforce immigration from all nationalities except India and China for a decade or more, and therefore hamper USA efforts to attract and maintain foreign investment.

By blocking green cards for nationals that presently comprise the majority of U.S. FDI, this legislation will significantly reduce investment in US economy. Should S. 386 pass, nationals from 193 countries will not be able to come to the U.S. or send their employees here to permanently oversee and direct their businesses. Under this regulatory scheme, immigration will not be possible for entrepreneurs, investors and job creators from all over the world for over a decade while the current backlog of Indian and Chinese H-1B workers (primarily in technology services industry) is processed. If S. 386 passes, the nationals that comprise 99% of the FDI in our country will becompletely shut out from immigrating.

Enomatic, known for being the industry leader in wine dispensing and preservation systems, has been a prime partner of The Wine Room on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida, proud recipient of Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence and early adopter of self-serve wine dispensers back in 2006.

Following the success of their first wine bar and retail store, the innovative collaboration between Enomatic and The Wine Room continue for their second location in Delray Beach, Florida. We are proud to be part of this amazing new project that is now the largest wine bar in the world. Thanks to Enomatic’s technology, guests can enjoy 216 wines offered in taste, half and full glass portions, preserved for 30+ days in perfect conditions. This self-serve concept is the best way to discover wines without having to commit to the purchase of an entire bottle, while providing a fun and social experience.

The Wine Room Delray Beach is also a restaurant with a full lunch/dinner menu and features a rare-wine room with about 2,400 bottles of wine.  Artisan’s cheese, meats, and 600 to 700 bottles of wine are available for purchase in the retail section.

As any bar or restaurant owner can attest, serving wine by pouring straight from the bottle increase waste and reduce efficiency. However, with Enomatic’s systems, serving wine is made easy and efficient while giving the best experience to guests and showcasing the finest bottles. The self-serve operation and pour control increases the performance of the bar, allowing the bartender behind the bar to focus on other aspects that decrease wait time and increases the business’ ROI.

Taste is a critical factor with wine and our wine dispensers ensure that the taste of each pour is of the highest quality.

In the world of online marketing, you’ve probably heard that “Content is King.”

Content certainly is king. Content ranges from text contents on blogs, info graphs, eBooks, case studies and videos. We feel many businesses have yet tapped into the immense resource this offers for your customers, but also broadens your sales reach.

Why You Need to Tap into the Video Content Goldmine

Video content has a huge share of what attracts the attention of people online. We know that today human beings have a very short attention span. Those who can capture and retain other’s attention for more than 3 seconds thrive.

As a business owner using the internet to attract customers (organically or other), you need video content. And here’s why:

1. Videos help with Sales & Conversions

Some marketers record 49% faster increase in revenue than others. Do you know why? The former use video content and the latter don’t. There is no easier way to drive home your point, relate with your customers on an emotional level, and build trust than through a video. In the end, this will translate to more online sales.

2. Videos make people trust you (better)

A key factor to businesses growing their online sales is by establishing trust. In the absence of a regular brick and mortar office or store front, people find it harder to trust unknown online businesses. Videos establish credibility, and a personal connection to a person, going beyond a company name.

57% of customers said they felt more comfortable making a purchase after viewing a video.

3. Google gives preferences to video content

When optimizing your content for search engine, videos gives you an edge. Video gets people to spend more time on your web page. If people spend longer times on your page, it means you have engaging and relevant content. Eventually, Google recognizes this and ranks you higher on search results.

There’s no reason your company should ignore the influence of videos on the internet. YouTube now records 2 billion users, and 75 million people in the U.S. watch videos every day. You should tap into this goldmine for your business.

Indicativamente possono accedere ai finanziamenti aziende italiane con almeno due bilanci depositati e che abbiano un fatturato superiore al 1 milione di Euro, sede centrale in Italia e una società in USA (anche non direttamente detenuta o ancora da costituire).

In caso di valutazione positiva, l’intera istruttoria verrà seguita dal nostro partner tecnico in Italia (un’azienda specializzata con esperienza pluriennale nell’assistere aziende per la ricerca di incentivi per operare sui mercati internazionali) soggetta alla supervisione Camera.

Miami, FL – Magniflex is teaming up with Food For The Poor to send disaster relief supplies to help families in North Carolina who continue to be affected by Hurricane Florence.
The commitment of over $250,000 in mattress donations will be distributed to the region as soon as possible.

Food For The Poor will ship the mattresses to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh, N.C., which will oversee the distribution to families in need.

Magniflex is pleased to work with Coconut Creek-based Food For The Poor, one of the largest international relief and development organizations in the nation. While Food For The Poor’s mission primarily is to serve internationally, the charity has responded in the past to catastrophic disasters in the United States.

Hurricane Florence made landfall almost a month ago near Wrightsville Beach, N.C., as a Category 1 hurricane packing winds of 90 mph. The storm brought devastating amounts of rain that has left the community helpless.

“What happened in the Carolinas is devastating,” said Marco Magni, CEO of Magniflex USA Ltd. “Our thoughts and prayers are with all who were affected by the catastrophe and we are working with local partner agencies to address the needs of families in the affected areas.”

Magniflex is always open to help and has donated to both Goodwill and Salvation Army in the past. Magniflex is a worldwide mattress brand based in Italy with dealers throughout the U.S.
