GMTA in the news:
• GMTA is embarking on an aggressive new ad program in 2014, seeking to expand its market reach in automotive and gain additional exposure in other machine tool end users sectors, including aerospace, medical, and energy. This effort will be enhanced by a direct marketing and social media campaign, as the company ramps up to a major presence planned for IMTS in September.
• GMTA recently sponsored a learning day for local area school children, including all 7th graders from the Saline, Mich. schools who are currently studying German. The group visited Frankenmuth, Mich., which bills itself as “the American town with a German Bavarian heritage.” The group visited the historical museum and enjoyed an array of fun activities.
• GMTA recently became a member of the Michigan Chapter of the German American Chamber of Commerce. Claudia Hambelton from GMTA attended the annual Fall Dinner, where the keynote speaker was Sheryl Connelly, the Global Consumer Trends and Futuring Manager for Ford, who spoke on the topic of how companies can prepare themselves for oncoming trends in the market.
