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. The
benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant.
