Last-Ditch Effort

MPT Expo takes place this month (October 21–23 in Detroit).

If you haven’t signed up yet, now is the time. Here’s a free pass. Please register.

The experts in the world of mechanical power transmission will be gathering in one building for a few days. You may think you don’t have time. You can’t get out of the office. You can’t afford to travel.

But can you afford to miss it?

The world is changing. Fast. If your supply chain isn’t under stress due to tariffs, global unrest or political upheaval, it will be soon. We’ve heard from many manufacturers who are panicked. Even those that thought they were safe—those with stable, U.S.-based supply chains—have now begun to realize that the tariffs are going to affect them, too, as bigger players are scooping up all available resources. If your steel prices haven’t gone up, they will. If your delivery times haven’t increased significantly, they will.

And the rules keep changing every day.

If only there were someplace you could go to find alternative suppliers of things like gears, bearings and gearboxes. Or even suppliers of the machines, tooling and software required to make those components yourself.

Oh yeah. There is such a place. It’s called MPT Expo.

And not only is it the best place to find solutions to your supply chain problems, it’s also a great place to network with and learn from your peers in the industry. Find out what everyone else is doing and return home with ideas that can help you navigate the chaos.
