The Cambridge, Ont.-based CTMA announced new branding and a new logo in March. “The new website really showcases this new brand and demonstrates that the CTMA continues to grow and expand to better support our members and those in the industry, all while keeping some of the original components that have been around since the CTMA opened its doors in 1963, such as the four chips from the first CNC machine in Ontario that was used to design the original logo,” CTMA said.

Among the new features, the site contains integrated social media buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to foster improved communication. There is also an option to leave a review on Google, by clicking the Google icon. “We will be constantly updating our content with new and relevant industry updates, member news, upcoming events and opportunities, helpful information, and company announcements,” CTMA said.
