Through the Springmaker's Exchange, SMI members can conveniently advertise or locate items such as used equipment, excess material inventory or excess production capacity. In addition to posting items for sale, members may also advertise that they are looking to buy items.

    It is not intended to encourage competition among members, nor is it a forum for advertising your company's primary products and services.

    To submit a listing for the Springmaker's Exchange, please follow the instructions below:

1. Listings will be taken offline 60 days after they are published unless you indicate otherwise.

2. Listings should include "facts only" information about what you're selling (25 words maximum). Promotional verbiage, such as "mint condition," "runs well," "great bargain" and so on, should not be included. SMI reserves the right to edit such "PR fluff" out of your listing.

3. Each company may submit up to five listings each month.

4. Each listing will include only one item. Example: If you wish to sell three types of wire and two machines, you must submit five individual listings.

5. Help wanted ads are not permitted.
