How to Capitalize on the Booming Automotive Industry – May 3 Seminar

With a record number of vehicles expected to be sourced in 2017, the North American automotive industry is poised for a growth period in 2017 and 2018. As a major part of the North American automotive supply chain, Canadian manufacturers should look at incoming demand and identify ways to capitalize on the booming industry.

The Canadian Tooling and Machining Association (CTMA) is holding a May event on this specific topic. CTMA promotes Canadian tooling and machining companies by communicating important industry news to its membership and advocating for government support.

CTMA’s breakfast seminar, “How to Capitalize on the Booming Automotive Industry” will be co-hosted by Mentor Works Ltd. and Harbour Results on May 3, 2017, starting at 8:30am. The event will identify operational best-practices and improve the profitability of automotive manufacturers.

Session participants will also access information on Canadian government funding programs to offset the costs of automotive manufacturing investments. Attendees can discover Canadian government grants and loans to offset a range of projects, including capital investment or research and development.
