manufacturers can meet face-to-face with serious OEM buyers of custom manufacturing
services from the region.

Vantage Technology is the premier manufacturer of third-party certified electrical
connectors for use in hazardous environments. Cheryl Reid is the Purchasing Manager
and said of her AmCon experience, EURIt is a good place to meet regional suppliers and
to get ideas on what is available. I like to order from suppliers in my state when
possible, an AmCon regional manufacturing event helps. I also am always looking for
ISO certified machine shops, and they are easy to spot at the expo.EUR

Stephen Ehrlich is Chief Mechanical Engineer for ACR Electronics. Ehrlich said of
his AmCon Expo experience, EURThe best benefit from attending these types of events is
seeing the latest offerings from the various companies and seeing what they can do
for my company. I usually attend the AmCon show with othersEURall being Engineers or
Designers.EUR

There will be many engineers/buyers that will visit from mid-size companies from
Houston, Austin, San Antonio and throughout the Southwest. 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
EURhands onEUR one-on-one education. Since the exhibits are staffed with top management
and technical personnel, attendees have an in-depth discussion regarding project
design, materials and production issues. AmCon shows are free, including seminars on
a variety of manufacturing processes and quality issues. To register for the
