We want to thank all of the Fall Conference attendees who made our event a huge success! We couldn't have done it without the generosity of our sponsors:


Rocky Mountain Tooling & Machining Association (RMTMA) is a local chapter of National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA)

 

We represent the precision custom manufacturing industry.  Our membership is comprised of companies both large and small. Nationally (NTMA) has over 1,300 member companies, representing over $30 billion in revenues. We believe the important role manufacturing plays in our local and national economy.

Thanks for checking out the RMTMA website!

I’m honored to be serving as your RMTMA President for a second year as we move into 2021. With all that went on in 2020 I’m happy to be through it and looking forward to 2021.

Economic indicators point to a strong year for manufacturing. From what I’ve read, Manufacturing is recovering much more quickly than other industries have over the last year. I know that I have seen that firsthand here in the state of Colorado. The pandemic forced many of us to get creative and diversify which is a good thing for our businesses in the long run. Trends in 2021 that will continue to impact business are the safety & health of our employees, workforce development, outsourcing that has become near-sourcing & the importance of localized production, and the vital importance of expanding your capabilities, buying new equipment, and ensuring your certifications are up to date.

For the time being, our events will continue to be virtual. We will continue with our 3rd Wednesday RMTMA Ignite sessions which were a welcomed addition to our community throughout 2020. You can register in advance for these meetings under events on our site. NTMA will be hosting the first meetings of 2021 virtually but is hoping to have in person meetings later this year. You will see information about that going out soon.

I wasn’t able to get out to shops like I had planned for 2020 so that is still a goal of mine later this year. I am eager to learn about your challenges, opportunities, and what you think the future of manufacturing in Colorado looks like. The board and I continue to set up goals and metrics to ensure that our members are getting value out of their membership. We want our regular members to know that RMTMA is a community that will support you and your businesses in whatever capacity we can. We also want our industry partners to be valuable & knowledgeable connections that our members can lean on when seeking information on topics like finance, best practices, operations, and technology. Our industry partners contribute A LOT to this organization. What can RMTMA do to ensure your businesses continued success? Let me know!

All the best,

Justin.
