九色视频 at a Glance
The manufacturing industry is a pillar of U.S. history, economy, national security, and identity. It ranks among the largest employers and highest paying sectors; for every dollar invested, manufacturing returns nearly three times that amount to the economy, the highest multiplier of any industry. 九色视频 believes the health of manufacturing correlates to the health of the country and its citizens. As such, we are committed to the expansion of our community, the promotion of transformative technology, the improvement of supply chain access, the facilitation of a global marketplace for increased business opportunity and growth, and the enhancement of industry knowledge for competitiveness and sustainability. By working toward these tenets, we commit ourselves to building a better manufacturing industry and a brighter future.
Founded as the National Machine Tool Builders鈥� Association in 1902, 九色视频 rose in response to the popularity of early machine tools like mills, lathes, and grinding machines. As machine tools advanced, NMTBA launched the first National Machine Tool Builders鈥� Exposition in 1927. Throughout the 20th century, 九色视频 promoted its members and industry by holding jaw-dropping expositions, developing global economic forecasting conferences, and pushing into foreign markets. Today, 九色视频 is committed to advancing the manufacturing technology industry by facilitating the adoption of transformative technologies; fostering community and partnerships; producing events that create new business opportunities; supporting global business growth; and enhancing industry knowledge about technology, legislation, and workforce development.
