AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) have created a partnership that will bring together their expertise and resources to strengthen the U.S. industrial base.

As leaders in the manufacturing and supply chain industries, AMT and CSCMP say they recognize the importance of collaboration to address the challenges facing the U.S. industrial base. By leveraging their respective strengths, AMT and CSCMP aim to drive innovation, promote job creation and foster economic growth.

“We are thrilled to join forces with CSCMP to strengthen the U.S. industrial base,” says Douglas K. Woods, president of AMT. “By working together, we can bring manufacturing and supply chain expertise to bear on the most pressing issues facing our industries, from reshoring to technological advancements.”

As part of the partnership agreement, AMT and CSCMP will engage in a joint effort so that member companies of each association will have unique access for collaboration and finding solutions.

“The partnership with AMT is an important step in our efforts to support the U.S. industrial base,” says Mark Baxa, president and CEO of CSCMP. “We look forward to working with AMT to explore new opportunities for collaboration and to provide greater value to our members.”

The collaboration also gives the groups the ability to crosspromote content through the publications owned in the space.
