Welcome to the homepage of the Atlanta Chapter (Chapter 61) of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), where manufacturing comes together in North Georgia! We’re glad you stopped by for a visit. Our Chapter 61 team strives to maintain an active schedule of exciting plant tours along with interesting and informative technical presentations and activities, in order to promote an increased awareness of manufacturing engineering in our community. At the same time, we aim to create an environment for local manufacturing professionals to get together and have some fun, chat with each other about leading trends and technologies that impact their daily jobs, and develop friends and contacts that will last them throughout their careers and lifetimes. We would love to see you at an upcoming meeting or event, so check out the News and Upcoming Events section below and make a plan to come and join us! Thanks to Geiger for an excellent tour!
