Press Release Summary: Grand Rapids AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo September
17-18 Provides Rationale for Attending

Press Release Body: According to Kati Olson, President, “We are excited to be
returning to the Michigan market for this show later this month. AmCon is the only
show in Michigan specifically targeting OEM engineering and purchasing professionals
who are looking for job shop and contract manufacturing services. Highly qualified
prospects, often with blueprints in hand, will come from throughout Michigan, and
northern Indiana.”


The benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant. The Grand Rapids,
Michigan event will be held at DeVos Place on September 17-18, 2008. The Top 10
Reasons to attend this event are:
1. Save valuable time. Meet scores of the finest local and national contract
manufacturers exhibiting thousands of samples of custom parts and services.
2. See the latest in manufacturing technology.
3. Let the manufacturing experts help solve tough design and production problems.
4. Shorten the buying process. Meet with top management and technical personnel
staffing the booths.
5. Get immediate action. It is not unusual for exhibitors to fax RFQ’s to their
office and have quotes back before attendees leave the show.
6. Get quotes from several sources at once for upcoming and current projects.
7. Compare current suppliers to see how they measure up in cost, quality, and lead
time.
8. Attend free technical seminars; sending buyers to learn about a variety of
processes.
9. Let exhibitors educate buyers.
10. Admission to exhibits and seminars is absolutely FREE.



Engineers and buyers attending an AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo can find one or
multiple sources to take a project from concept or prototype to finished product
quickly and at competitive prices. OEMs can find sources for engineering, design,
prototypes, forming, fabricating, machining, finishing, assembly and electronic
manufacturing services all under one roof. Whether looking for one part or
production runs, attendees find multiple sources from which to choose. AmCon offers
attendees a unique opportunity to investigate a variety of manufacturing options,
both new and traditional, and find the best processes and materials for specific
applications. Attendees view actual samples of products that have been produced for
other OEMs in their industry and can get quotes on current projects and compare
quality, pricing, and lead times from multiple vendors all in a few hours. Only
AmCon shows provide a “hands on” one-on-one education.
