Annual PMA Cleveland District Suppliers Night Scheduled for April 27

More than 100 metalforming industry suppliers will showcase their capabilities and present the latest technologies to manufacturers of metal formed and fabricated parts at the Precision Metalforming Association Cleveland District Suppliers Night. The event will be April 27, 2023, from 4 to 8:30 PM at The Embassy Suites, 5800 Rockside Woods Blvd. N, Independence, OH.

The annual suppliers night offers the perfect environment to find local and regional sources and enjoy networking close-to-home, conveniently and affordably. The event will attract manufacturers from northeast Ohio and along the Erie shores, from Toledo to Buffalo.

PMA’s Cleveland District is one of PMA’s first districts, established more than 70 years ago with district member participation spanning several generations. "The Cleveland District has worked diligently to develop the next generation of leaders in the area," said a PMA spokesperson. "As a feature of this year’s suppliers' night, the district will recognize longstanding PMA member companies and their contributions to the district’s success through the years."

“I am a longtime member of the Cleveland District and have been exhibiting at suppliers nights since 1982,” said Michael Cesa, Market Development Manager with A-S Manufacturing and PMA Cleveland District Member-at-Large and Suppliers Night Chairman. “The event is a great opportunity to network with existing and potential customers, while featuring our company’s products and answering questions in a casual environment.” 

The Cleveland District board has been working to recruit a diversified mix of young and experienced volunteer leaders to offer a variety of perspectives to members. The board recently elected Ryan Scherler, a fourth-generation manufacturing leader and Purchasing Manager at Freeway Corporation, as its 2023 Chairman.

“I’m looking forward to working with Michael Cesa and other experienced district officers to continue strengthening the metalforming community in Cleveland,” Scherler said. “We will build upon our long tradition of success in connecting suppliers and manufacturers at our suppliers night and in developing next-generation talent through our involvement with local schools, robotics programs and the PMA Educational Foundation scholarship program.”

Scherler continued, “Our April 27 suppliers night is designed for a range of manufacturing industry personnel including business owners and managers, plant managers, shop foremen, engineers and sales executives. I encourage everyone to join us at this event, no matter the stage of their career, to connect with the local manufacturing community and learn about our industry’s latest technologies, products and services.”

Registration is free for attendees and is now open.
