In his speech to the network at the PAIMA annual conference in Las Vegas, jeff said that he wanted to see greater trading between the members of the group.  He encouraged members to obtain quotations from each other and, if they were too expensive, at least give them the opportunity to meet halfway.  “You can say yes, or no, but at least give each other a chance,” he said.

PAIMA was founded in 1985 and now has 165 member companies in 63 countries.
