About AMA
Advanced Manufacturing Aotearoa is a nationwide, cross-sector industry body established to advance New Zealand's manufacturing.
Through strengthening New Zealand's manufacturing network, we aim to support the adoption of smart and modern technologies and processes that enable a more productive, sustainable and globally competitive sector.
Advanced Manufacturing Aotearoa works alongside key sector partners in business, including unions, research and educational institutions, industry bodies and organisations representing Māori and Pacific manufacturers.
It is an independent incorporated society that actively seeks input from all stakeholders across New Zealand, ensuring regional, individual manufacturing company and industry body feedback is used to make transparent and non-biased decisions on behalf of all stakeholders.
Advanced Manufacturing Aotearoa is made up of the AMA Board, AMA Council and AMA Regional Action Groups.
