AMT-The Association For Manufacturing Technology (founded in 1902 as the National Machine Tool Builders' Association) supports and promotes the U.S. machine tool industry. The association provides U.S. builders of manufacturing systems with the latest information on technical developments, trade and marketing opportunities, and economic issues. It also gathers and disseminates information about world markets, promotes its members' products in those markets, and acts as a representative on manufacturing technology matters to governments and trade organizations throughout the world.
Presently the association has strength of over 425 US member companies involved in diverse fields of manufacturing technology.
AMT also owns and operates the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), held every even-numbered year in Chicago. It is among the largest industrial expositions in the world and the largest of its type in the America. This giant trade show attracts nearly 100,000 buyers and sellers from over 100 countries. More than 1,200 exhibiting companies participate in this extravaganza of the finest manufacturing equipment and related technology in the world.
AMT has successfully established their Technology & Service Centre and Branch Office operations in emerging economies like China, Mexico, etc.
With India emerging as global base for manufacturing, AMT has recently established a Technology Centre in Chennai, India – Chennai Tech Centre (CTC).
Through its Tech Centers AMT acts as ‘incubator’ for small and medium size US manufacturing companies and provide them with necessary handholding to bring their products to new markets. After suitably evaluating the market potential these companies set up their direct operations by collaborating with local companies and forming JV or their own 100% subsidiaries.
