PMA Chairman for 2008 Ralph Hardt, president of Feintool North America, will hit the ground running with an aggressive approach to global marketing for metalforming companies, PMA membership growth and legislative advocacy. "It's a global market for metalformed parts and assemblies, and if you want your business to mirror the market, then you have to participate globally" preaches the Precision Metalforming Association's (PMA) 2008 Chairman-elect Ralph Hardt. Hardt knows from where he speaks, having served since 2003 as president of Feintool North America, which also has operations throughout Europe and Asia. The multinational company designs and manufactures fineblanking tooling and presses, and also produces fineblanked parts and assemblies, primarily for the automotive industry.
