NOMMA is excited to announce that the quality education you have come to expect at METALfab will occur in an online format April 16-17, 2021. Register today to participate in two days of learning, network with your fellow attendees, and walk away with tangible knowledge and techniques you can apply in your work.
New this year, we are hosting an all-day session where you, the attendee, will drive the discussion by suggesting the topics you would like to explore. Attendees will help to problem solve, give and receive immediate feedback, brainstorm new strategies, and more.
The second day of education sessions will feature technical and business related topics that benefit all industry professionals. Here are a few of the sessions that will be delivered:
• ADA/ABA Basics for Ramps, Stairs & Handrails
• Building Leaders Throughout an Organization
• 3 Mini Sessions in 1: Technical videos on the Circular Staircase, Railing Layouts, and Templating a Curved Railing with the Help of Markers
Members have access to both days of education for $199. Non-member pricing is $299. Learn more about the education sessions, presenters, and more at www.nomma.org/page/2021online-edu.

NOMMA members are the foundation of this great association. We are looking for testimonials from members about what it means to be a part of NOMMA. If you have any testimonials about being a member, what NOMMA does for you, or even memories from METALfab, we would love to hear them!

NOMMA members each have a membership profile that they are allowed to edit. There are multiple questions where members can enter as much detail as they want. A great reason to have your profile fully updated is that the profile information ties into one of the NOMMA benefits, Find a Fabricator and Find an Industry Partner. The Find a Fabricator and Find an Industry Partner features allow members to search for Fabricators or Industry Partners in specific areas or pertaining to specific types of projects. The more detailed information you have filled out in your profile, the easier it will be for your organization to appear in those searches.

Gold: Emerald Ironworks, Inc.
Title of Entry: Softbox Stair
Materials: Steel and red oak
Finish: Gun blue with a poly overspray
Total Labor Hours: 400
This beautiful mono stringer curved stair and rail was built for a company that manufactures refrigerated containers designed for shipping bio medical products and human transplant organs. Emerald used a 4-by-14 box beam bent to a total of 90 degrees to support the stair. The beams visible at the base of the balcony railings were constructed in shop by plasma cutting the tops and bottoms to match the curve of the balcony, then bending the face to match, and finally welding all of the edges.
The treads were created from 3-inch-thick red oak, coped on the right side to match the curve of the wall, and supported by stanchions welded to the beam with a metal plate routed flush into the bottom of the tread. The project features flat 2-and-a-half-inch handrail, and round grab with 3/16-inch cable for the railings.
