Senior Leadership/Executive

Manufacturers’ Technology Council (MTC)

Overview

Investing in new productive assets and technology is critical to keep manufacturers competitive. Businesses that invest in technologies have a considerably better growth outlook than their non-adopting counterparts. CME’s Technology Adoption Report shows that 40% of manufacturers identify uncertain return on investment as the main reason why they are not investing in new technology.

CME’s Manufacturers’ Technology Council (MTC) helps manufacturing executives understand what technologies are best suited for their needs and provides greater certainty on their investments.

An exclusive group of 10-15 senior manufacturing executives from non-competing companies, leaders meet to gain strategic insights, share ideas and learn from each other’s experiences.

The MTC is a peer-mentoring forum to exchange confidential business information related to the ongoing operations and growth of their business. Meetings are highly interactive, participants share their experiences on various topics such as technology adoption, productivity and operational issues to help the group resolve their manufacturing challenges. MTC members also gain access to CME’s resources and trusted partner subject matter experts.
