The Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) has created a suppliers and manufacturers council (SMC) to advise it on issues and concerns related to the future success of their companies, their customers and the printing industry as a whole.
“The SMC will reflect the ever-changing diversity of the industry and provide an important voice from the supplier community,” said Ford Bowers, President and CEO, SGIA. “It’s strategically important for keeping with SGIA’s larger, community-based approach.”
The SMC will give supplier and manufacturer members an opportunity for peer-to-peer interaction and advice in selected areas including event participation, access to customers and new markets, industry research, legislative affairs and advocacy, training programs and talent acquisition.
