Planning is underway for AMFA to once again co-host exhibit space at the annual FabTech Expo.  Scheduled from September 13-16, 2021 at McCormick Place in Chicago, the FabTech Expo is the largest event in North America dedicated to showcasing a full spectrum of metal forming, fabricating, tube & pipe, welding and finishing equipment and technology. The show attracts some 2,500 exhibitors and thousands of attendees from across the U.S. and around the world.
 
AMFA’s 20’ booth will showcase the manufacturing capabilities available in our region, along with informing visitors about the economic advantages for businesses interested in locating in Northeastern Minnesota. The exhibit booth and materials are designed to communicate the message, “Let AMFA members build your product for you!”   
 
Further refinement of display materials is planned this year, with an eye towards improved graphics and direct messaging with regard to member capabilities. Additionally, discussion is ongoing about effective use of AMFA Connection, the website launched in 2017 to link members with relevant RFQ’s from prospective customers.
