The trade show schedule for Fall 2024 will be very busy around the country.  If you want to keep abreast of new technologies, look for American manufacturers to return manufacturing from offshore, or look for new vendors to make your supply chain more secure, be sure to attend the trade show nearest to you.  The fall starts off with the biggest trade show of them all in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been attending this show for over 30 years.  It used to be called the Job Shop Show because it featured companies that performed custom fabrication services such as castings, forgings, extrusions, plastic and rubber molding, metal stamping.  What is unique about this show is that only American companies are allowed to exhibit, The shows in Southern California is where me met many of the companies my manufacturers\u2019 sales agency, ElectroFab Sales, represents.  I will be attending the Long Beach show on September 26th<\/sup> to help out at the booth of the rubber molding company we represent, Century Rubber Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
