The Midwest Contract Manufacturing Showcase brings together the best
manufacturers in the area who boast advanced capabilities and
solutions in a simple, easy-to-digest trade show that promises valuable
opportunities to network and build trusted partnerships without the
headache, crowds, or expense of traditional trade shows.
Industry 4.0 has revolutionized the industry, not only in how we design and
manufacture products but also in how OEMs and contract manufacturers do
business. While these advanced technologies drastically reduce cycle times and
quality issues, some business is best done in person and sealed with a
handshake. Manufacturing trade shows are an increasingly vital component for
OEMs and contract manufacturers alike, providing the opportunity to meet and
mingle with the best in the industry and discover solutions you’d never have
considered before. However, smaller, family-owned and operated companies
often lack the resources to pay tens of thousands of dollars to exhibit at
big-name events, which are crowded and overwhelming.
The MCMS was established to
provide smaller manufacturers
and OEMs with an affordable
avenue to reach newer markets,
explore advanced capabilities,
and develop trusted
partnerships.
The MCMS was founded to
provide talented craftsmen with
a way to showcase their skills
and expertise close to home,
allowing them to focus on their
passion and employees, rather
than navigating overly
complicated exhibitor
guidelines.
Located in America’s Heartland, the Shipshewana and surrounding areas are

conventions and extravagant expos.

gap between home-grown manufacturing and American OEMs, providing an
inviting and relaxed atmosphere where the solutions are innovative and the
buying process is simplified.
