First Oktoberfest Well Received By<br />
MWFA & NCFA Members<br />
The MWFA holds at least one meeting a year in<br />
conjunction with the North Coast Fastener Association.<br />
The original plan of an Oktoberfest grew into a Fall Event<br />
Day. The day featured plant tours at Brico Industries,<br />
SGS North America Inc. (MSI Metallurgy), DLP Coatings,<br />
South Holland Metal Finishing, Allstar Fasteners and<br />
SWD Inc. This allowed guests the opportunity to view<br />
different aspects of the industry in action.<br />
The evening continued with the sharing of company<br />
literature, “Five Minutes of Fame”-allowing attendees to<br />
share information about their company and concluded<br />
with an Oktoberfest dinner in Rosemont, IL.<br />
Several NCFA members traveled to Chicago to<br />
participate in the MWFA Fall Event. The great networking<br />
was well worth the trip!<br />
