"We are grateful to our charter exhibitors who have supported us since the inception of The ASSEMBLY Show and have helped us to develop a leading event for the manufacturing industry.

"We invite any companies looking to get in front of assembly manufacturing professionals to join us. We have a great line up of workshops, educational programs, networking events and of course an expansive show floor."

Another benefit of participating is for the first time The ASSEMBLY Show will be partnering with the MANA - Manufacturers' Agents National Association (www.manaonline.org) to offer a pre-event workshop on Thriving With Manufacturers' Reps on Tuesday, October 25 from 11 am - 12:30 pm. MANA's CEO, Charles Cohon, will share details about low-cost and no-cost practices and programs that will earn more of a reps' mind share so they will bring more orders.

Charles will then moderate a panel of reps and manufacturers who will answer questions about how they thrive in long-term, mutually profitable rep/manufacturer relationships. Panelists who will discuss best practices, successes and challenges include Jason Barton, Director of Business Development, DUKANE; Bill Eppich, Vice President, Weiss; Marty Grimes, President & Owner, Assembly Solutions, Inc.; Tony Marquette, President, Instrumentation Resources Inc; Glenn Nausley, President, Promess; David Scaggs, Director of Sales, Cincinnati Test Systems, and Kurt Sieber, President, EDGE Manufacturing Technologies.

"Being part of The ASSEMBLY Show educational program is an exciting first for the Manufacturers' Agents National Association. The ASSEMBLY Show is more than just the 'go-to' event for the assembly technology equipment and product industry; it's also a target-rich environment for manufacturers seeking reps and reps seeking manufacturers. And this year MANA will be on-site to help make that kind of matchmaking flourish at The ASSEMBLY Show," said MANA's CEO, Charles Cohon.

The expansive trade show floor will feature Gold Sponsor Promess; Silver Sponsors ASG, KINEXON, and Rexroth, a Bosch Company; Bronze Sponsors Cardinal Kinetic, Schmidt Technology and Telsonic Ultrasonics; and Education Sponsors Epson Robots, Daifuku, a Jervis B. Webb Company, EWI, Dukane, Kistler, Mountz, Laco Technologies, Universal Robotics, Pico MES, and LightGuide.
