About AKMA
AKMA is Alaska’s statewide manufacturing network.
Manufacturing here looks different than it does anywhere else. Distance, freight, workforce, infrastructure, supply chains, and market access all shape how businesses produce, grow, and compete.
AKMA exists to connect the people and organizations solving those challenges, so Alaska manufacturing becomes more visible, more connected, and better represented
AKMA was created because Alaska manufacturers are doing important work, but too often they do so without a clear network, shared visibility, or a seat at the table.
Across the state, businesses are producing food, building materials, equipment, consumer products, industrial goods, and value-added goods from Alaska resources. At the same time, many are navigating the same barriers: freight, workforce, infrastructure, funding, packaging, compliance, supply chains, and market access.
We saw a need for a place where Alaska’s manufacturers and the people who support them could connect, be seen, share challenges, and help shape what comes next.
AKMA exists to make Alaska manufacturing easier to find, easier to support, and harder to leave out of the conversations that affect its future.
