CLEVELAND, Feb. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On April 1st-3rd, in Pittsburgh, PA, the Manufacturing & Technology Conference and Expo, an IndustryWeek event, will bring together manufacturing decision makers, from design to delivery, and keep them at the forefront of manufacturing’s digital transformation.

“This year’s event is unlike any other event; our goal is to give attendees a unique opportunity for a behind the scene look at growth strategies, implementation tactics on operations efficiencies, and an innovation roadmap on how top manufacturing are staying ahead of the market,” said Travis Hessman, IndustryWeek Chief Editor.
