The Society of Manufacturing Engineers is a group that supports manufacturing through the sharing of information, connections via local chapters and technical communities, trade-show style events, publications and more. Boasting a global reach of over half a million and spanning all manufacturing industries, SME is an important player in influencing new technology, particularly in the fields of aerospace and defense, medical, motorized vehicles, and clean energy.

Because of SME's forward-thinking philosophy and their eagerness to embrace and share new technology while solving the world's challenges, Liberty Packaging became an SME member and exhibited [Intercept Technology Packaging](https://www.libertypackaging.com/environmental/) in the recent EASTEC manufacturing show here in Massachusetts. We plan to participate in their inaugural East Coast [Mfg4](http://mfg4event.com) event next May in Hartford, CT.

We enjoyed this newest SME video "We Are SME" and wanted to share their forward-thinking philosphy with you. Please take a look and be sure to leave a comment.

Intercept Technology Packaging products fit within a sustainability strategy because they are reusable, recyclable, do not contain or use volatile components (No VOCs, Not a VCI) and leave a smaller carbon footprint than most traditional protective packaging products.
