RMTMA Vision:
RMTMA is a dynamic manufacturing organization built upon networking, workforce development, and education. We foster seamless connections, empower individuals with essential skills, and create a collaborative community to drive continuous industry improvement.
Rocky Mountain Tooling & Machining Association (RMTMA)
is a local chapter of National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA).
We represent the precision custom manufacturing industry. Our membership is comprised of companies both large and small.
Our parent organization, NTMA, has over 1,300 member companies, representing over $30 billion in revenues.
We believe the important role manufacturing plays in our local and national economy. To our members we can provide education and training, networking, business and health insurance, market research, business development and advocacy.
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Rocky Mountain NTMA website! I am pleased to be leading this wonderful organization into 2023 and beyond as your new RMTMA President. There are a lot of exciting events and opportunities that lie ahead in this coming year.
While we all may not be completely out of the woods just yet, it does feel a lot better now that the heart of the Covid pandemic is behind us. Challenges with inflation, talent scarcity, and supply chain interruptions continue to linger and seem to affect almost all of us in the industry. There has never been a better time to invest in talent retention and recruitment in preparation for the strong economic opportunities that are headed our way. In the toughest of times, we must think ahead and prepare for the best of times.
The RMTMA offers a few different approaches to help members engage and nurture the workforce of their future. The annual National Robotics League Colorado competition, most recently held on April 15th, 2023, is the culmination of a months-long process by bright, tech-minded high school students and industry partners in our region who design and build combat robots for battle. It serves as an exciting and attractive chance for students interested in technical trades, including manufacturing, to explore product lifecycle from design brainstorming all the way to competition.
Another great opportunity to get emerging talent involved in manufacturing is through the RMTMA's Department of Labor approved Apprenticeship Program, which began rolling out in 2022. RMTMA is actively seeking apprentices and employers who are interested in joining this program.
