New midday hours make Suppliers EXPO optimal opportunity to bring together manufacturers and suppliers in Hudsonville
Grand Rapids, MI—October 9, 2023—The Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) West Michigan District will host its seventh annual suppliers event on November 2, 2023, at The Pinnacle Center in Hudsonville, MI. Top metalforming industry suppliers will showcase their capabilities and latest technologies to local manufacturers at the Suppliers EXPO.
Previously called Suppliers Night and recently rebranded as the West Michigan Suppliers EXPO, the event will feature new show hours, from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The new midday format makes it easier than ever for manufacturers to send their teams to the EXPO to meet with the region’s most loyal suppliers of technology, management and workforce development solutions.
“The Suppliers EXPO is a unique and important opportunity for local manufacturers to connect with suppliers and service providers to stamping, fabricating, spinning, slide forming and roll forming companies in the region,” said PMA West Michigan District Chair Steve Koets, director of business development for Pridgeon & Clay, Grand Rapids, MI. “We anticipate even higher attendance with our new, more convenient event hours.”
More than 200 suppliers and manufacturers are expected to attend. Participants will enjoy a lunch buffet, beverages and raffle prize giveaways while making connections, networking and finding resources within the robust West Michigan manufacturing community.
Additionally, as a new element of this year’s event, the West Michigan District will hold a special ceremony to recognize long-standing PMA member companies and their contributions to the district’s success through the years.
Registration is free for attendees and is open now. Exhibit booths are sold out but interested suppliers can join the waiting list by contacting Erin Peterman at [email protected].
