Our mission is to create a vibrant and sustainable local manufacturing industry, by fostering innovation, partnerships, and educational pathways.
GMI is composed of manufacturers like you, who don’t have the time to advocate and cultivate. When you join GMI, we become the conduit between you and fellow manufacturers, suppliers, educators, government, and workforce professionals.
GMI gives manufacturers a voice. While you do the important work of running your business, we work behind the scenes to do the following:
Whether you are a manufacturer looking to connect with other businesses, an educator interested in promoting industry-related education, or a government agency looking to support economic development, we are here to help.
