The RTMA plays a key role in providing Upstate New York with vital business development, management information, and custom services. The PRIMARY GOAL of the RTMA is to help members gain exposure to projects and contracts that may not have been readily available to them or that they didn't know about. The RTMA can now achieve this goal with the implementation of an OEM RFP System Database. The OEM RFP System Database allows OEMS to search the entire RTMA membership profile database for specialized services and submit a Request For Proposal (RFP) to allow members to bid on a specific project/job.

Businesses wanting to keep pace with a rapidly changing global marketplace should consider a membership with the RTMA. Our members are committed to the future of the American manufacturing industry and provide the opportunity to share ideas and grow through business experiences.
