WHY WE EXIST
Alaska Manufacturing Association exists to connect, support, and amplify Alaska’s manufacturing community.
Whether you're launching a food brand or building Alaska’s next prestressed plant — you belong here. We create meaningful opportunities for growth through networking events, education, vendor partnerships, and industry collaboration.
If you're looking for workforce solutions, supply chain support, or a place to be heard — you're in the right place.
MFG Mixers are where Alaska’s manufacturers come to connect, collaborate, and grow.
Meet. Forge. Grow. These quarterly networking events bring together passionate makers, innovators, and business owners who understand the journey. It’s not just about shaking hands — it’s about sparking ideas, finding solutions, and building momentum, together.
I always leave the [events] feeling a little more hopeful about what’s possible for manufacturing in Alaska.
Virginia Lynn Peterson, SWOOP.
