Grapevine, TX — February 4, 2026 — The Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) Lone Star District announced today the return of its Fourth Annual Spring Golf Outing, taking place Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at Grapevine Golf Course, followed by the Inaugural PMA Lone Star Suppliers Expo on Wednesday, April 15, at the Courtyard by Marriott Grapevine – DFW.
Together, the two events create a coordinated, two-day opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to connect, build relationships and engage in meaningful business discussions across the growing North Texas manufacturing region.
The Spring Golf Outing, now in its fourth year, serves as the district’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting workforce development initiatives, student outreach and industry promotion throughout the region. The outing brings manufacturers and suppliers together in a relaxed, relationship-first setting designed to open conversations and strengthen connections.
“The Spring Golf Outing has been a hallmark event for our district,” said Lisa Matheis of Dayton Rogers Manufacturing, PMA Lone Star District Director. “This year, we are elevating that tradition by launching our inaugural Supplier Expo. It’s a natural evolution of the event, designed to support and bridge the gap between manufacturer needs and supplier solutions through meaningful, face-to-face networking.”
The Inaugural PMA Lone Star Suppliers Expo will welcome up to 50 exhibiting companies and an anticipated 150 manufacturing professionals for a focused, after-work tabletop tradeshow. The Expo is intentionally designed to prioritize quality interaction, practical problem-solving, and real conversations between manufacturers and suppliers.
By hosting both events in Grapevine, TX, the district is providing convenient access within the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and close proximity to DFW International Airport, making it easier for companies to participate both days and spend meaningful time engaging the local manufacturing community.
To support participation across both events, the PMA Lone Star District is offering Golf + Expo Engagement Packages, allowing companies to combine golf and exhibiting at a bundled rate through March 17. These packages are designed to reflect how companies actually engage—opening conversations on the course and continuing them with full teams on the show floor.
“The goal is simple,” said Kyle Treadwell of Principal Financial and PMA Lone Star District Membership Chair. “Create the right environment for conversations to start, then give them somewhere productive to go. Golf and the Expo work together to do exactly that.”
Registration is now open for the Spring Golf Outing, Suppliers Expo, and Golf + Expo Engagement Packages.
