Trade shows, showcases, expositions, conventions,
convocations—whatever you call them—the world of
networking events is as varied as the industries they
serve. Some offer highly specialized niche exhibits,
while others encompass the gamut of the industry.
They can be loud, crowded, confusing, and expensive.
And there’s nothing worse than spending time and
money at a trade show only to return home without
the partnerships you were looking for.
The Midwest is home to some of the most talented
and passionate craftsmen in the woodworking
industry. These smaller wood manufacturers have
decades of experience and leverage advanced
capabilities to produce high-quality wood products
and components for a wide range of applications,
from custom wood furniture for high-end hotels to
build-to-print solutions for reshoring consumer goods.
The MCMS will feature American woodworking at its
finest: exceptional craftsmanship and affordable
solutions for all production requirements.
The Midwest Contract Manufacturing Showcase is a
simpler type of event focused on bringing together
smaller, family-owned manufacturers and OEMs
searching for a better way to source high-quality parts
delivered with exceptional customer service from
American businesses built on common sense. The MCMS
is where real business gets done, lasting partnerships are
formed, and honest conversations can be heard.
The Midwest may boast an uncommon number of
woodworking experts, but it is also known for its
metal fabrication, plastic manufacturing, precision
machining, and more. America’s heartland has a
history of manufacturing and industry, with roots
spanning generations, grounded in integrity, and
powered by hardworking, dedicated craftsmen.
