Join Alaska’s Manufacturing Network
AKMA membership connects you to the manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, agencies, and partners working to strengthen what gets made in Alaska.
Whether you’re producing at scale, growing a product-based business, supporting manufacturers, or helping build the broader ecosystem, membership gives you visibility, connection, support, and a voice in what comes next.
What AKMA Membership Helps You Do
Building a manufacturing business in Alaska can mean navigating freight, workforce, suppliers, regulations, market access and growth without a clear place to turn.
AKMA membership gives you a statewide network to help you:
Get your business seen
Build your visibility through the AKMA Directory, member stories, newsletters, social media, events, referrals and partner conversations.
Find the right people faster
Connect with manufacturers, suppliers, freight providers, technical experts, workforce partners, agencies and organizations that understand what it takes to operate in Alaska.
Learn from people doing the work
Take part in manufacturing mixers, industry roundtables and practical conversations built around the challenges Alaska businesses are actually facing.
Help shape what comes next
Bring your experience into statewide conversations about workforce, freight, infrastructure, procurement, supply chains and policies affecting Alaska manufacturing.
What That Looks Like in Practice
AKMA is still growing, but the network is already creating opportunities that would be difficult for individual businesses to build alone.
-
We've coordinated several listening tours, including a six-stop manufacturing tour that brought Senator Sullivan and his team directly inside Mat-Su manufacturing facilities.
-
We host MFG Mixers and roundtables where manufacturers, suppliers, agencies, and industry partners can meet inside the businesses doing the work.
-
We built a searchable statewide directory that helps buyers, partners, and the public discover Alaska manufacturers, and its member listings are already appearing in Google searches.
-
We regularly feature member companies through AKMA’s blog, newsletter, social media, and broader industry conversations.
Choose the Membership That Matches Your Role
AKMA membership is built for the full manufacturing ecosystem: companies producing in Alaska, businesses designing products here, suppliers and service providers supporting the industry, and partners helping strengthen manufacturing statewide.
Each tier reflects a different role in Alaska’s manufacturing network.
