History
In 1999, 22 printers and letter shops in Greensboro formed the Tri-Metro Region Mailing and Printing Association to share training, compare notes on postal changes, and sponsor a regional trade show. In 2012 the name was shortened to Tri-Metro Association as packaging and fulfillment companies joined.
