PROSPECT, CT—(December 5, 2018)—Design-2-Part (D2P) Shows, a series of design and contract manufacturing trade shows across the U.S., has set a new annual attendance record for its trade shows in 2018. The eleven 2018 shows combined to deliver 14,935 engineers and buyers, the highest number in the 44-year history of D2P.

“We are extremely pleased with the year our shows had in 2018,” said Jerry Schmidt, President of Design-2-Part Shows. “We invest a lot of time and money in attracting attendees to each show. But this year, we also acknowledge a resurgence in America’s manufacturing industry and the U.S. economy as a whole. The feedback that we receive from our exhibitors in post-show surveys showed that they also saw a higher level of active buyers than in recent years, resulting in some of our highest Customer Satisfaction marks ever.”

D2P will look to continue this run in 2019 with eleven more shows scheduled in Grapevine, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Uncasville, Connecticut; Schaumburg, Illinois; Santa Clara, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Marlborough, Massachusetts; Pasadena, California; Oaks, Pennsylvania; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Design-2-Part Shows provides U.S. manufacturers an efficient opportunity to meet local and national job shops and contract manufacturers face-to-face to source custom parts, components, services, and design. Exhibiting companies showcase their design-through-manufacturing services, featuring more than 300 product categories for the metal, plastics, rubber, and electronics industries.

D2P Shows exclusively feature exhibiting job shops and contract manufacturers with manufacturing operations in the United States. Companies that do not have facilities in the U.S. are not permitted to exhibit.
