ACMA Launches New Online Buyers Guide for Composites Industry

December 2, 2008 (Arlington, Va.) - The American Composites Manufacturing Association (ACMA) today launched a new and improved online buyer’s guide for the composites industry. ACMA’s Buyers Guide will provide composites professionals with an online search tool for accessing an extensive directory of industry specific products and services.  The directory is easily accessible through a prominent link on the ACMA Web site: www.acmanet.org .

Within ACMA’s Buyers Guide, online searchers will be able to easily locate products and services unique to the industry without the clutter of a general Internet search engine. Users will have the option of performing keyword-driven searches or a category-specific search. Both methods will produce the most industry-relevant results on the Web.

The guide will also include Request for Information (RFI) functionality. This feature allows users to contact participating suppliers with a click of their mouse. With a downloadable desktop search application available, users will also have the ability to search for items directly from a small search window on their desktops – making the search process as convenient and time-efficient as possible.

Along with the option to purchase a graphically robust company listing, direct Web site hyperlink and e-mail generation capacity, the guide will allow supplier companies to add videos to their listing for a small administrative fee. This feature gives guide users immediate access to video-formatted information and promotions that will help them easily procure products and services specific to their industry needs.  ACMA partnered with MultiView, Inc., a leading publisher of online supplier directories for national associations, to create the new buyer’s guide.
