Your 2019 Technology Purchasing Guide
MoldMaking Technology’s annual Technology Review and Sourcing Guide is an accurate, comprehensive, easy-to-read and use guide for researching today’s technology, equipment, products and services.
A wise mold builder recently said, “Technology is how you make money. We can’t do what we do with old technology.” And it is with that in mind that I present to you MoldMaking Technology’s 2019 Technology Review and Sourcing Guide.
This annual directory takes an accurate, comprehensive, easy-to-read and use approach to displaying data on current equipment, products and services, simplifying a mold builder’s decision-making process when evaluating technology and relevant suppliers before making the investment.
Let’s face it, this stuff is expensive, and it’s often difficult to keep up with the capital investments needed, so we want to help ease the burden a bit by equipping you with information that can quickly connect you with the technology experts.
Our printed guide and online database offer more than 1,000 manufacturers, distributors and suppliers for more than 200 product and service categories that you employ daily. To keep this information current, MoldMaking Technology surveys and updates its supplier database every spring with the latest company contact information and product/service offerings.
