GTMA Organizes Funded Trade Visit to China

The Gauge and Tool Makers Association (GTMA) is organizing a trade mission to Beijing, China, for which it has secured funding of £750 from UK Trade & Investment for each eligible company participating. Firms that are not GTMA members are welcome to join the mission, which takes place October 15–22, 2005.

The trade mission coincides with the 2nd International Die & Mould Conference in Beijing. Participants in the GTMA delegation are invited to join the itinerary arranged by the China Mould and Die Association, which includes visits to mould making and plastics companies. Alternatively, they may make their own arrangements.

The GTMA is the UK’s leading trade association representing toolmaking, metrology, precision machining, rapid product development, and tooling technologies. In addition to sponsoring trade missions, the association develops engineering standards, technology seminars, and training initiatives, and collects UK and global market intelligence on relevant industry topics. It is a founding member of the International Special Tooling & Machining Association and the European Length Measurement Association.
