“BAMA has been an invaluable source of information that has saved us thousands of dollars over the years. Interaction with other manufacturers and associate members has led to many solutions of common problems.
Keep up the good work, and don’t hesitate to call if you need anything from us.”
George Lawton, Controller
H. & S. Swansons’ Tool Company

"Ven-Tel Plastics has found membership in BAMA very beneficial and remains an active member. The interfacing with other manufacturers and business people allows us to see different views on common problems. At one meeting during the social time, I met an accountant who gave us a tip on how to waive the sales tax on a major expansion project. That tip saved the company in excess of $120,000 that year."
Edward Venner, President
Ven-Tel Plastics Corporation
