Additionally with 2024 being an election year, there was continued conversation of trade policies. As well as further concern for political unrest that could impact foreign supplier chain reliability 

He praised Design-2-Part for their excellent organization, making it easy for Deco Products to set up their booth.

They talked to attendees about zinc as a material used for die casting manufacturing parts.
