MMPAについて

“The MMPA is a unique association. Actually, it’s an association comprised of unique individuals with the common goal of not just surviving within the moulding industry, but actually improving their individual company while surviving. As a relatively new member, I am amazed at how daily competitors come together and discuss the business obstacles and opportunities within a relatively small industry. The knowledge, experience, and comradeship that is built within the members within the association is an investment for myself and for my company. The associate members also play an integral part of imparting knowledge within the association. Many of the associate members are invited to speak during the associational meetings to expose each of us into their world of expertise.”

"Woodgrain has been a member of the mmpa for many years. The value we get from our associations with its members is invaluable. Every opportunity we have to meet as an association we come away with new insights and ideas on how to make our business better and stronger. The Tech-ed opportunities allow our team to get experience with other professionals in the industry and spend time with like-minded individuals and companies who help them grow and develop. Our industry has always been very tight-knit and I would credit a lot of that to the relationships formed and nurtured over the years from our association."

“Yuba River Moulding and Millwork Inc. has been a member of the MMPA since 1977. Like most of the active members of the association, our company considers the MMPA a very important component to the success of our company in past, present ,and future perspectives. The information and the knowledge that you take from the meetings and interaction and fellowship with other members can not be bought on a one time basis. Membership in the MMPA is a lifetime learning and positively growing your company proposition. If this is the direction you want to take your organization please join us in the MMPA.”

“I was 28 years old when my boss, a family friend that worked for my grandfather and my father, suddenly passed away. I was very young to be taking over the family business, but lucky to be surrounded by some very qualified people. For four years I wanted to attend a WMMPA meeting but never did, usually because they were on the west coast, but also because I just did not know anybody. Then in 2001, the winter meeting was being held in Florida near Jacksonville. Since I’m from N. Carolina, I decided to drive down along with my assistant manager and our wives. This is still one of the best business decisions I have made in my career. The friendships I have made, and the knowledge I have brought home from the meetings are wonderful. Now, I hardly ever miss out, and when I do, I really feel like I missed out on something important and fun. In fact, I feel like the new MMPA is so important to me and my business, that I joined the Board of Directors and now serve on the Executive Committee. If you think the MMPA is a good fit for your business, but just can’t make yourself get to a meeting, think hard and then just do it! It might be one of the best business decisions you ever made too.”

“The MMPA is comprised of the best and brightest people in our industry. We have representation covering softwoods, hardwoods, MDF, and poly materials from large and small companies and multiple countries. Each of us adding our individual expertise and experience to improve the entire industry. I would strongly encourage members to take the time to be actively involved in this association as the contacts and information we share is invaluable in an ever changing market.”

“TLC Mouldings has been a member of the association since our start in 2001. The ability to meet and share ideas with industry peers has been invaluable. Through the association those industry peers have become friends and family. The tech sessions are always a great source to meet with vendors to assist with problem solving and new ideas to assist in our manufacturing process."

"MMPA is a powerful association of members that ask questions, share ideas and reach for more to better their businesses. Our yearly WM® Millwork Marketplace gathers industry leaders to gain valuable information from a wide variety of millwork channels along with forecast and trend insights. We may come from different parts of the world, from different size companies and a diversity of material processed, but every year the WM® Millwork Marketplace shows how unified MMPA is in its pursuit of knowledge and excellence. I wouldn't miss it!"
