Manufacturing is Kentucky’s dominant sector; it drives the state’s economy. Manufacturers directly employ over 260,000 Kentuckians. More than one in eight Kentuckians make world-class products.

We work to strengthen Kentucky’s business climate through state and federal advocacy and public policy development that fosters investment and job growth in manufacturing and throughout the state’s economy. 

Beyond our advocacy for manufacturing and economic growth, we provide cost-saving programs for our member companies, and important opportunities and venues for our members to connect, share best practices, and collaborate.
