Since 1928, Gardner Publications has been the premier publisher for the heart of manufacturing in North America - the plants, shops, factories, and the people that make them work. Gardner Publications was founded in 1928 in Cincinnati, Ohio, with the introduction of Modern Machine Shop (MMS) magazine -- the premier Metalworking and Machine Tool publication in North America.

Since then, we have built our niche in one area: manufacturing. We bring industrial buyers and sellers together through our integrated approach to media. Automotive Design & Production, Plastics Technology, Production Machining, Products Finishing, MoldMaking Technology, High Performance Composites, and Composites Technology magazines, as well as Modern Machine Shop all strive to use media, be it the publications, websites, research or in person events, to allow our customers to do business better.
