DETROIT, Mich. –  Butzel, a 20-plus year member of MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers, is a sponsor of the 2026 MEMA OE Annual Conference & Expo (ACE) November 18-19 in Novi. Butzel will be exhibiting in booth 4025.

For two days, attendees gain direct access to executive perspectives, emerging technologies, purchasing leaders and strategic discussions that matter most to suppliers.
