The fairs will be co-sponsored by the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA). For the first time a theme has been chosen for the fairs, "Bringing Work Back to the U.S.A." The organizers will put heavy emphasis on attracting customers that have sent work to other countries, in hopes of convincing them to attend the fairs and meet U.S. metalworking vendors that can make their products back in the U.S.A.
"These fairs are part of a bigger picture that the NTMA and PMA are working on through their One Voice Legislative Advocacy Coalition to get the federal government to lower government mandated costs that hurt U.S. companies' ability to compete," said an NTMA spokesperson. "The overall goal is to help U.S. companies compete in a global market and help U.S. manufacturers increase their sourcing of work in the U.S.
"U.S. companies that have capabilities in all kinds of metalworking sectors and looking for potential new customers should take a serious look at attending one of the events. U.S. companies with a need to find U.S. metalworking vendors should also investigate attending. More information on the fairs will be released later but the sites for the fairs are:
