Missouri Enterprise

On July 26th, our team from Missouri Enterprise had the pleasure of presenting at the Kansas City Chapter NTMA (Kansas City Chapter of the National Tooling & Machining Association) Regular Member Roundtable. The event was a fantastic opportunity to discuss value-driven solutions and share insights into the local manufacturing supports available to our community. Stacey Marler shared key findings from our recent Missouri manufacturing survey, offering valuable data-driven insights into industry trends and challenges. Curtis Lopez highlighted the critical importance of ISO certification for companies looking to enhance quality and competitiveness. These presentations sparked meaningful conversations about workforce development and strategic connections in the manufacturing sector. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to the conversation and Hartwig, Inc. for hosting the event and offering tours. We're excited to continue building strategic connections and supporting Missouri's manufacturing industry!
