What it is
MD&M Midwest is an advanced manufacturing trade show and conference covering medtech, automation, design and manufacturing, plastics and packaging.

Who it is for
The organiser names engineers (design, project, packaging and plant), owners and executive managers, R&D specialists, production and operations professionals, quality control experts and purchasing professionals.
