Metal Spinning Testimonials

PMA helps me build relationships with industry peers. The meetings have been a vehicle for me to gather information on country-wide economic conditions, supply-chain information and political hot topics while sharing information about our unique industry.  No matter who you are, you will find that you get far more than you give.
Bob Blood, Technical Sales Director-USA, M&M Mechanika B.V.

Metal spinning is a niche capability with unique challenges. Having a group of colleagues that understand the business—to discuss tooling, forming techniques, machinery and employee training—is an invaluable resource. Our membership in PMA is based mainly on our involvement with the Metal Spinning Division.
Mark Verhein, President, Church Metal Spinning Co.

As a past chair of the Spinning Division, it is unusual to run across an organization that has competitors who can all sit down and network together and not feel threatened in any way. What is important to me is the ability to network with people who all are dealing with the same issues. Given the economic conditions we all face today, it is nice to come together and share and talk with like-minded people. It's a very unique group and well worth the investment.
Kevin Harberts, President, Iowa Metal Spinners, Inc.
PMA 2006-2007 Metal Spinning Division Chairman

The PMA Metal Spinning Division is in reality a CEO networking group. Almost all members are owners of the company they represent. The meetings are great venues to discuss opportunities and challenges facing the spinning industry. The social events offer time to renew old friendships and make new ones while discussing relevant issues. The benefits I have received from this division are priceless.
Wayne Boeckman, PMA 2009 Chairman of the Board

Becoming a PMA spinning division member allows networking to solve common challenges, learn new techniques and develop friendships that may get you through that tough job. PMA also keeps us up to date on government rules and regulations, including OSHA. Participation increases awareness and overall presence in the metalforming industry. We are all competitors to a point, but we need to stand together to advance the industry—there is always strength in numbers.
Dale Harrison, President, E.H. Schwab Company

Joining PMA many years ago and being part of the Metal Spinning Division was one of the smartest choices we have ever made. Support and networking opportunities are endless. We have gained many new friends and customers through our involvement.
