Annovox and Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Manufacturing Workforce Training

Annovox is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), one of North America's leading manufacturing associations, to help transform how manufacturers capture, preserve, and deliver workforce knowledge through video training that combines AI with expert human review. Through this partnership, PMA will offer Annovox's AI-enabled video training platform to its member companies, providing manufacturers with a faster, more effective way to create standardized work instructions, Video SOPs, onboarding content, process documentation, and knowledge transfer resources. As manufacturers continue to face workforce shortages, retirements, and increasing training demands, organizations are looking for practical ways to preserve critical operational knowledge while accelerating employee development. Annovox addresses these challenges by converting existing video footage into professionally edited, searchable, multilingual training content that can be deployed across an organization. "Our mission has always been to make knowledge transfer easier, faster, and more scalable," said Lute Atieh, Founder of Annovox. "Partnering with PMA allows us to bring these capabilities to manufacturers through an organization that has spent decades supporting workforce development and operational excellence." Under the agreement, PMA will serve as an authorized channel partner for its member companies, helping manufacturers adopt AI-assisted video learning solutions that improve onboarding, cross-training, process consistency, and operational efficiency. Annovox will provide the production, AI-assisted editing, multilingual capabilities, and quality assurance required to deliver professional training content tailored to each organization's needs. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to modernizing manufacturing training while protecting the intellectual property and operational knowledge of participating companies. Organizations retain ownership of their training content, while Annovox continues to provide its proprietary AI-enhanced production workflow, backed by human quality control, to create consistent, high-quality learning experiences. This collaboration represents an important milestone for Annovox as it continues expanding partnerships with manufacturing organizations, workforce development groups, and industry associations seeking innovative solutions for employee training and knowledge retention. ## About Annovox Annovox helps organizations transform raw video into intelligent training assets using AI-assisted editing, micro-learning modules, multilingual translation, and searchable Video SOPs.
