MD&M East

MD&M East is underway today through Thursday at the Javits Center in New York City. A highlight of the show are the presentations and the broad areas they cover. It is a great way to learn quickly what others are up to and cross pollinate ideas. Chuck Weikel is attending for MBP.

MD&M East attracts many component and contract manufacturers that are based in the Eastern US with a few European and Asian firms. Although not as big as MD&M West in Anaheim, it still brings participants from across the spectrum of firms.
