Albuquerque – Today, Governor Susana Martinez joined the newly-formed New Mexico chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA) at its inaugural event to celebrate its inception as the 38th Chapter of the NTMA. This is an important development for the state as it communicates to manufacturing businesses nationally and worldwide that New Mexico is welcoming to manufacturing investments and is home to a critical mass of “second tier” manufacturers that supply them. Also in attendance were Economic Development Secretary Jon Barela, Workforce Solutions Secretary Celina Bussey and Secretary of Public Education Hanna Skandera in addition to Ken McCreight, vice president of the National Tooling and Machining Association.
