ASPE Partners with TMB Publishing

Chicago, Illinois (January 18, 2012) The American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) is pleased to announce that it has signed a publishing partnership with TMB Publishing Inc., in which TMB’s renowned monthly magazine, Plumbing Engineer, will become “The Official Publication of ASPE” effective March 1 and will replace ASPE’s publication, Plumbing Systems & Design.

“This new partnership combines the technical quality readers have come to expect from ASPE with the extensive and long-standing publishing expertise TMB has earned by serving the plumbing engineering community for over 40 years,” says Jim Kendzel, MPH, CAE, ASPE executive director. “TMB’s leadership in the plumbing engineering market ensures that ASPE’s technical content will reach a wider audience of plumbing engineers, designers, and specifiers, leading to greater exposure of the ASPE brand and, ultimately, increased value to subscribers.”

Under the agreement, TMB will publish Plumbing Engineer in association with ASPE and will provide a subscription to the magazine to all ASPE members free of charge. ASPE will contribute the resources of its current authors and columnists as well as provide technical review of articles.

“I am thrilled to again be partnering with ASPE to help publish quality technical articles for the plumbing engineering community,” says TMB owner Tom Brown. “Plumbing Engineer and its readers can only benefit from the wealth of knowledge and expertise ASPE and its members will bring to the publication.”

Advertisers and other interested parties are encouraged to contact Brad Burnside, publisher of Plumbing Engineer, at brad@tmbpublishing.com to obtain additional information related to this exciting new partnership.
