榴莲官网进入, Inc. is honored to be involved with MCA and its mission to educate and train manufacturing and industrial cleaning professionals on how to establish and hold strict industrial standards that answer the question: How clean is clean? 榴莲官网进入, Inc. is proud to have Mike Valenti, Product Manager 鈥� Cleaners and Nonferrous Surface, on MCA’s executive committee as treasurer.
Due to industry demand, Gardner Business Media聽(GBM) announced the formation and launch of the Manufacturing Cleaning Association (MCA), along with the new Association鈥檚 prestigious board member roster. 鈥淲ith the rising importance of parts and component cleaning across industries, Gardner began planning the goals, strategies and structure for the new association several years ago. 鈥淲e wanted to make sure it truly served the needs of the industries our publications and our trade event serve in a meaningful way,鈥� said Matt Gilmore, marketing and operations manager at Gardner Business Media, Inc. and MCA executive director.
Initial planning for what has become the MCA began at the 2019聽Precision Machining Technology Show聽(PMTS) where a prospective MCA member working group gathered. That meeting was followed by the structuring of the organization 鈥� including Code of Regulations, Articles of Incorporation, dues structures and member benefits. Then, in September 2019, the MCA聽was officially established in the state of Ohio. In December, the MCA began signing founding members.
鈥淥ver the past 5 years, it has become clear that creating a community of cleaning industry professionals that can learn from each other as well as establish and hold strict industrial standards that answer the question 鈥檋ow clean is clean?鈥� is in demand,鈥� continued Gilmore.
Gilmore has led the association鈥檚 board of directors and executive board in regular planning meetings since August of this year. Gilmore will serve as executive director of the Manufacturing Cleaning Association (MCA).
Joining Gilmore in rounding out the initial board of directors are representatives of founding member companies.
