Processor Members! PMA has a NEW website: https://pmahome.org/! We will be using our new website and social media platforms to promote our processor members, like you! This is all included as part of your PMA membership. Our goal is to spread the word about our members and the fantastic parts they produce.
We are asking that each processor member submit two photos of parts you produce with one to two lines of description. (For example the name/features of the part and where it's used.) As well as your company logo, and links to your website and social media. This will ensure that your photo will be linked to your company, all in the name of positive exposure for cast elastomers, produced by our members!

The PMA office will be rotating the photo posts so that each member is promoted fairly. Please submit the images, description, logo, and links to [email protected]

Due to factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PMA Board of Directors have made the decision to cancel the 2020 Annual Meeting and Processing Techniques seminar. While we were all looking forward to this year’s meeting, the health and well-being of meeting attendees, speakers and guests are of utmost importance.

For individuals who have made reservations for this year’s meeting, the hotel reservation staff will process room cancellations and follow-up with a cancellation email to individuals. Additionally, the PMA staff will process refunds for meeting registration fees (members and guests) as well as the exhibitor and sponsor contributions. However, please be patient, as with the number of registrations that will need to be canceled, this may take up to 10 days to process.
