91ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ÎÛ

At IMTS 2018, the 91ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ÎÛ Top Shops attraction will include a display featuring more than 1,000 91ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ÎÛ covers. Beginning with the debut issue in June 1928, the display spans nine decades of manufacturing history concluding with 91ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ÎÛ’s September 2018 IMTS issue. These covers tell stories—stories about new applications being developed and new technologies being applied, stories about new innovations and new industries emerging. Most importantly, they tell stories about people—manufacturing dreamers and doers—leaders like you that understand the need to improve and help create the stories we tell. Be sure to visit booth #236600 at the entrance to McCormick Place’s North Building to experience manufacturing history through 90 years of 91ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ÎÛ covers.
