PMPA: The Precision Machined Products Association
The Precision Machined Products Association (PMPA) is an international trade association representing the interests of the precision machined products industry. While PMPA consists mainly of U.S-. and Canada-based manufacturers, its members also operate facilities in various industrial markets around the globe. The PMPA has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1933. The success of the organization can be directly attributed to the ongoing involvement of its members at the chapter level, committee level and on the Board of Directors. The PMPA consists of industry leaders who understand that a strong trade association is critical to ensure the future of manufacturing in North America.
