On February 1-4, the PMA West Michigan District exhibited at the Michigan International Auto Show in Grand Rapids.
Showcasing PMA West Michigan manufacturing members, each exhibiting company displayed manufactured car parts, many of which were parts used in the cars that were on display at the show. The exhibit achieved its purpose to demonstrate the region’s many automotive manufacturers, their impact on the local economy, and the many technical and rewarding careers offered in manufacturing.https://www.youtube.com/embed/tZ3J58QMm80?si=Y29cfv8K_H-dWen

Steve Koets, PMA West Michigan Chair, Interviewed by Local Media
“Everybody always thinks that Detroit is the place where all the cars are made but it expands out into a supply chain,” said Stephen Koets, chairman of the board for the Precision Metalforming Association West Michigan District.
“As you drive around Holland, Michigan or Grand Rapids, Michigan, you see all of the Tier One companies that all make the modules, the injection molders, the wiring harness and it all ends up in an assembly plant,” Koets said.
Parts On Display
Not only the greatest annual opportunity to view the “next new car!”, showgoers to the Michigan Auto Show got to see how they’re made, from the parts and assemblies manufactured by local PMA member companies to educational and job-hiring opportunities. View the photo gallery.
