Diversify into New Industries at Mfg4Collaboration, convergence and cross-pollination are the keys to achieving truly innovative progress in today’s manufacturing world. R&D now features borrowing as much as it does inventing, especially with shrinking development budgets. Which is why the technology-driven industries – aerospace, defense (including arms) and medical device – will gather at Mfg4 in May 2016. Mfg4 puts the newest products and processes on center stage, encouraging the rapid transfer of knowledge and technology that manufacturers require to meet increasing government regulations and mission-critical quality control.

Bringing your product or service to a new industry can be challenging and often expensive. Convincing potential customers that your product is capable can take months, especially without proven results in that industry. This is where Mfg4 can help.

Mfg4 2016 provides your firm with a golden opportunity to expand its sales potential into the growing aerospace, defense and medical device industries. The OEMs who attend are predisposed to explore and assess new technologies from new suppliers – it’s the primary reason they’re attending the event! You can be assured that you’re demonstrating your capabilities to the correct audience. Featuring top manufacturers from across the U.S., Mfg4 is where brilliant ideas and people intersect.

We look forward to seeing you at this cross-collaboration event.

DefenseManufacturers who export their products and compete in the global market, are driving the need for lower costs. Suppliers who want to meet the needs of international buyers and break into this market come to Mfg4 looking for solutions.

Exports in the firearms and ammunition market are expected to grow to an average annual rate of 3.8% because of mounting global demand. Over the next five years, the space vehicle and missile manufacturing industry is anticipated to become increasingly competitive as industry operators vie for a smaller number of funded projects.
