Convenio Technologies’ President, Rich Martin joins me from Easley, South Carolina, for the MMT Chat all about the new venture—a group of manufacturing partners has come together to offer flexibility of services to the marketplace to get the job done.
I’ve known Rich since the early days of MoldMaking Technology. He has a wealth of experience and a deep passion for moldmaking. I got him to open up about the motivation behind this new company, the meaning behind the name, and what this team of partners offers to the manufacturing industry.
