First Index and National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) announced Friday that they have formed a partnership to help NTMA members gain more business online.

Together they will create a co-branded web site for NTMA members to access RFQs. NTMA members will receive a discounted membership in the First Index supplier network. In addition, NTMA and First Index will provide sales and marketing training at NTMA conferences, purchasing fairs, and other events.

NTMA is a leading national trade association representing the special tooling and machining industry. Ron Overton, NTMA’s team leader of global marketing and CEO of Overton Industries, is pleased with the partnership with First Index for many reasons. “Part of our mission at the NTMA is to improve the marketing and sales capabilities of our members. I look forward to First Index not only providing a platform for our members to win new business, but also working with NTMA members to help them make the most of these new online sales tools. More and more, we see buyers turning to online platforms as the way sourcing will be done in the future.”
