MCAA’s Virtual Trade Show connects our contractor members with the members of MCAA’s Manufacturer/Supplier Council.

Anvil International, an MCAA member since 1987, merged with Smith-Cooper International in 2019. On March 29, 2021, the unified company relaunched as ASC Engineered Solutions. Under a single name and logo, ASC Engineered Solutions continues its focus on improving the customer experience every day and striving to deliver service excellence.

For the last 10 years, there has been a steady rise in the digital integration of the industry. What started with 3D models built with AutoCAD and coordinated in NavisWorks has evolved to the point where digital tools are used on every part of the process and data is collected. MCAA’s 2021 MEP Innovation Conference is addressing all of these challenges with big and small ideas for every contractor.

As a student, Adam Crnkovich really enjoyed participating in MCAA’s Student Chapter Competition as it gave him incredible exposure to technical aspects that contractors work on, as well as played a huge role in his understanding of the industry as a whole. Adam is currently a Project Manager at the Ray Martin Company and a previous member of the University of Nebraska- Lincoln student chapter.
