Re-shoring Purchasing Fair 2010 (May 12, Irvine, CA)


NTMA - The National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA), the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) re-shoring initiative will document to large manufacturers nationwide the benefits of sourcing in the United States. The highlight of the re-shoring campaign is the first-ever "Re-Shoring Fair" which builds on the 50 successful domestically focused Fairs held by NTMA over the last 25 years, It will provide a one-stop for larger U.S. manufacturers (OEMs) to find competitive U.S. job shops to manufacture parts and tooling. More than 50 representatives from large manufacturers are expected to attend and learn about competitive domestic sourcing opportunities from 200 top custom U.S. manufacturers.

The Fair is intended to change the sourcing paradigm from “Off-shored is cheaper” to “Local reduces Total Cost of Ownership” and will focus on machined, stamped and fabricated parts, special tooling (dies, molds, jigs, fixtures and gauges) and special machines. Work now being produced domestically is also welcome.
