By joining forces to create the Manufacturing Technology Series, SME and AMT are optimizing the exhibitor value of four leading manufacturing events. For more than nine decades, SME has stood for manufacturing. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing quality, progress and prosperity throughout the manufacturing industry, we have worked tirelessly to serve the interests of practitioners, companies, educators, government and communities across the manufacturing spectrum. AMT, the Association for Manufacturing Technology, represents and promotes U.S.- based manufacturing technology and its members — those who design, build, sell and service the continuously evolving technology that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Founded in 1902, the association specializes in providing targeted business assistance, extensive global support, and business intelligence systems and analysis.
