It's time for you to be recognized for your high standards of achievement!

PMA’s Awards of Excellence in Metalforming recognizes the high standards of achievement set by the metalforming industry in the areas of design, quality, safety, training and education, process control, product development and productivity.

Winning companies benefit from: 

  • company acknowledgement at the FABTECH tradeshow.
  • recognition in a video presentation highlighting the winning companies' accomplishments
  • prominent coverage in MetalForming magazine reaching more than 55,000 readers in the metalforming industry.
  • customized announcements to send to your key customers, suppliers and prospects.
  • key presence on PMA's website, visited by nearly 100,000 people annually.
  • induction into the prestigious winners circle

This sounds great, doesn't it? So what’s stopping you from applying? 

“I don’t have time to fill out an awards application—I’m too busy developing innovative training and safety programs, evaluating suggestions for improving productivity, and providing world-class
customer service!”

That’s an understandable reaction from small manufacturing companies like mine.  But if your company is excelling in safety, training, innovation, quality and productivity, you've already done the hard part!  Winning a national award for those efforts will build your credibility with customers and prospects. It also provides a well-deserved recognition of the commitment and effort your employees bring to the job every day. Believe me, seeing our 50-person company on a list of industry giants makes us all stand taller.

Win or lose, the application process provides an opportunity to analyze and reflect on your company’s best practices. You’ll appreciate what you've accomplished and get fresh ideas for where you want to go next. That makes PMA awards a good business practice.”

President Trump announced via tweet on Monday that he was imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Brazil and Argentina due to both governments devaluating their currencies. These two countries previously had reached a deal with the Trump administration to avoid Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs by agreeing to quotas. Both Argentina and Brazil were exempted from the 232 steel and aluminum tariffs in May 2018. The tariffs can’t be “restored” because the two countries were not subject to tariffs in the first place. The exemptions for both countries required Presidential Proclamations, and to change the quotas to tariffs would require new proclamations as tariffs can’t be re-imposed by a tweet.
