Take time to improve yourself and your manufacturing business
FMA Virtual Annual Meeting provides opportunities to learn from other fabricators, industry experts
The 2021 FMA Virtual Annual Meeting on March 3-4 celebrates hundreds of leaders and manufacturing heroes in metals fabrication, processing, and distribution.
The past year has been a stressful one for all in the metal fabricating community. In spring 2020 shops were wondering where they fit into the overall economic discussion as the world tried to figure out what an essential and nonessential business was. Those who continued to work had to figure out how to do it safely.
Then as business began picking up from almost halting in the earlier part of the year, metal fabricating companies had to balance the normal chaos of job scheduling and tight lead times with the reality of people needing more flexible schedules and extended absences for those that may have gotten the COVID-19 or been exposed to someone who had. With all of that going on, people had to deal with the fact that they really couldn’t travel anywhere and enjoy a vacation like they had before the pandemic.
