International Manufacturing Technology Show
American Precision Museum Attends 2010 IMTS in Chicago
The American Precision Museum was the main attraction in the first-ever Manufacturing Museum at IMTS. Well over 1,000 people visited our booth asking questions about the museum and promising to visit. It was an honor to have been invited to attend, and we are grateful to AMT for giving us that opportunity.
The relationship between the American Precision Museum and the Association For Manufacturing Technology goes back to the establishment of the Machine Tool Hall of Fame, now featured on the museum’s website. This began as a joint project between the two organizations to honor those pioneers in the machine tool industry who have made significant contributions to the American machine tool industry.
Founded in 1902, AMT represents and promotes the interests of American providers of manufacturing machinery and equipment. Since 1988, AMT has broadened its membership scope to include all of the elements of manufacturing - design, automation, material removal, material forming, assembly, inspection and testing, and communications and control. These changes reflect the worldwide evolution in the technologies of the manufacturing process and signify the commitment of U.S. providers to deliver and support the world's leading manufacturing technologies.
Every even numbered year in Chicago, AMT organizes and sponsors IMTS, the largest industrial show in the Americas, which last year was named the No. 2 trade show in the United States. Total registration for the six-day event was 82,411 with 1,728 companies exhibiting in 1,180 booths. It was a week well spent for the museum giving us the opportunity to make new friends and renew old acquaintances!
