RRVTMA is made up of companies that believe in the future of manufacturing for northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Our membership assumes a leadership position in the training and development of the current and future generations in the metalworking profession.
Our membership is comprised of member companies in the manufacturing industry and associate member companies that recognize the importance of manufacturing in the Rock River Valley region. These are the companies that support the metal working industry with their time, energy, and financial resources.
