After being positively impacted by the MMA for four years, I can honestly say if you or your organization is involved in manufacturing in Michigan then this not for profit is one of your top advocates in Michigan politics and is also one of your single most valuable assets for trends in Michigan manufacturing. Located right by the capital, they know and respectfully dialogue with all the politicians by name. Our company Berrien Metal Products, Inc. was substantially positively impacted by the MMA's advocacy regarding the 2015 Personal Property Tax negation legislation. Coupled with their friendly reminder to file the right paperwork, the MMA saved our cashflow a sum of around $38,220 on a very useful machine tool purchase that has since then generated over $2,000,000 in revenue for our company. We are very grateful for the team at MMA who sent out the notice that a particular tax form needed to be submitted prior to a February deadline. Thank you MMA for being a lookout for our management team. We are grateful to have such a resource in Michigan and we hope to be very helpful to the MMA in the future. We know every donation dollar to the MMA will come back to our community in multiplicative ways. Manufacturing is a critical key to lowering inflation and increasing prosperity for all Americans.
