The Engineering Industries Association (EIA) is joining the MTA (Manufacturing Technologies Association), where it will sit as an independent identity under the MTA umbrella brand. MTA CEO James Selka says: “On-boarding into the MTA family will help ensure the EIA’s long-term sustainability and, by bringing key elements of the engineering and manufacturing community closer together, ensure member businesses receive enhanced support and enjoy a stronger, more influential voice into government.”

Karen Finegold, who now heads up the EIA, adds: “I believe EIA members will experience a huge benefit with this development. The services offered by the EIA will be enhanced by joining an allied association; the close links with the MTA have made this a natural progression.”
