MINNEAPOLIS – Saying it needed to grow to survive, Smart Group will become part of SMTA, effective Jan. 1, 2018.

SMTA Europe will continue to host meetings in the UK, but will also support manufacturing regions in mainland Europe with additional educational programs and technical resources.

Members of both organizations will have expanded opportunities to connect across the globe, as well as mutual access to thousands of technical papers and online content.

"In this fast-changing environment, industry associations can struggle to remain relevant, and this will ensure that our growth continues,” said Keith Bryant, chairman of Smart Group. “SMTA is a global organization with a huge reach. Together we will offer our members unrivaled events and support, increasing their knowledge, helping those overcome problems and become more successful.”

To join the SMTA Europe Technical Committee, contact Tanya Martin at tanya@smta.org.
