Numberall’s EASTEC Roundup: Our Review of the 2019 Conference

Numberall: Leading Manufacturer Since 1930 and Proud EASTEC Attendee

Numberall has been a prominent name in the manufacturing industry in the US since 1930. As a leading manufacturer of steel stamps and marking tools, we have proudly attended EASTEC, the premier Northeast manufacturing trade show, since 1998.

This past May, we were eager to attend the three-day event in West Springfield, Massachusetts. We find that EASTEC always proves to be educational and inspirational, as we often return encouraged by the presentations and experiences of customers, fellow vendors, and speakers alike. It turns out the 2019 conference wasn’t any different.

EASTEC 2019 Highlights

EASTEC 2019 featured over 700 exhibitors, including Numberall, with technical presentations, workshops, and keynote speakers. This event is known for supporting various facets of the manufacturing industry, including automation, aerospace, medical devices, and more.

Stepping back into our booth in the exhibit hall, we had the pleasure of meeting many new faces and demonstrating some of our popular equipment, including the Model 40B, the Model 301A with Model 50P stamping round parts, and the Model 136A stamping screwdriver handles.

Why Steel Stamps Over Machines?

A trend we noticed in meeting with new companies is the need for steel stamps and marking tools—products Numberall has been manufacturing since our inception in 1930. Why use steel stamps instead of a machine?

One reason is they are economical—not only are they affordable, but they are also made to last. Another reason is the steel stamp’s precise marking. Since the operator controls the force of the hammer, you can ensure that a clear mark is created every time. With these qualities along with their durability, we found that Numberall’s steel stamps were the right fit for a lot of companies’ metal marking needs.

Meeting Old and New Faces at EASTEC

Though we were pleased to meet many new people at the conference, one of our favorite things about EASTEC was being able to meet past and current customers who we may have only spoken to over the phone or through email.

One customer who stopped by our booth this year had used Numberall products for over 80 years! In 1936, Ketchum Mfg. in Lake Luzerne, New York, purchased the 13th Model 50P that came out of production, a model that we only began manufacturing a year prior.
