Powering Innovation in Tennessee

Who we are

The Tennessee Manufacturers Association works to strengthen and advance the manufacturing industry across the state. We serve as the unified voice for manufacturers, advocating for smart, pro-growth policies and a competitive business climate. Through legislative engagement, industry collaboration, and strategic workforce development initiatives, we help ensure Tennessee remains a destination for innovation, investment, and high-quality jobs.

TMA connects manufacturers with resources, information, and leaders who help them succeed — whether through regulatory insight, talent pipeline initiatives, or opportunities to engage with peers across the industry. By bringing together businesses of all sizes, we promote solutions that drive productivity, expand capabilities, and support long-term economic growth for communities throughout Tennessee.
