Three29 Joins CMTA to Help Manufacturers Integrate AI Efficiency

“I’m happy to welcome Three29 as a new CMTA member,” said Lance Hastings, President & CEO of CMTA. “Our Communications Team has worked closely with Three29 on digital projects and seen firsthand the value their skills and knowledge will bring to our manufacturing members. We look forward to fostering those mutually beneficial relationships among our membership network.”
With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) utilization, Three29 helps companies leverage AI—not just to improve efficiency through custom agents—but to tackle the biggest, unaddressed opportunity: Answer Engine Optimization. Buyers, especially for professional, construction and manufacturing services, look to AI first when researching who to do business with. If companies are not cited by AI, then potential business can be missed. Three29 addresses this gap to support their clients’ forward growth.
“We’re excited to join CMTA because it’s a group of companies that are our people,” said Joshua Hanosh, Vice President and Co-Founder at Three29. “We love working with the folks who make and invent, who like to get their hands dirty and who are always looking to better themselves and their company each year.”
Three29 has offices in Sacramento, CA and Jacksonville, FL, and has been helping companies grow since 2010.
