The Value
“I place a high value on being part of the IMDA. There is no other group that brings together the metal decorating supply chain quite like the IMDA. It is a one stop shop for getting the information needed to improve the quality and standards of the metal decorating and packaging process. As a decorator it gives me direct access to potential technology partners and suppliers.”
