Joining Options
Joining the association of manufacturing companies is a practical and transparent process. Both small and large enterprises that operate in manufacturing or are part of its value chain are welcome to become members. The application is submitted electronically and is followed by a short quality assessment during which we get to know your company’s activities and expectations. We believe that cooperation starts from trust and clarity – that is why we offer a personal consultation before joining to discuss the opportunities membership provides specifically for your company. Joining opens the door to a strong network, the possibility to apply for the trust mark, and access to practical services, studies, and exclusive events. Our members can be part of a community that drives development and values cooperation, knowledge, and mutual support. Come and grow together with the most influential players in the sector!
Networking
One of the core values of our association is strong cooperation between members and advisors. We regularly organise networking events, meetings, and business forums where members can create new contacts, share experiences, and find cooperation partners. Cooperation is not limited to companies from the same field – valuable partnerships often emerge between representatives of different industries. In addition to physical meetings, we also offer virtual networking opportunities: a member database, contact platforms, and thematic online forums. Among our members are companies whose success has grown directly from contacts made at these events. A strong network means accelerated development, better visibility, and faster access to the right people. Through us, no member is alone – every company is part of a supportive and active business network.
Surveys
The association regularly conducts sector-specific surveys to provide members with actionable insights. These surveys cover manufacturing trends, market opportunities, labour challenges, technological developments, and supply chain dynamics. Data is gathered from a broad spectrum of members and partners, ensuring relevance and reliability. Results are shared through detailed reports, visual analyses, and executive summaries. Members can also request customised surveys on specific topics or regions. By participating, companies not only gain valuable intelligence but also help shape the sector’s collective understanding and strategic development.
Benefit Program
Our Benefit Program is designed to deliver tangible advantages to all members. Participants gain access to exclusive services, discounted solutions, and priority participation in association events, training sessions, and innovation initiatives. The program includes support for export activities, workforce development, legal and regulatory guidance, and technology adoption. Members can leverage partnerships with banks, insurance providers, equipment manufacturers, and research institutions, gaining direct access to resources that accelerate business growth. By joining the Benefit Program, companies strengthen their operational capabilities, expand networks, and enjoy measurable value from their membership.
Partners
The association cooperates with reliable and experienced partners both domestically and internationally. Our partners include banks, insurance companies, research institutions, equipment manufacturers, logistics firms, and innovation agencies. Partnership means better access for our members to services, expertise, and funding opportunities. Members also benefit from exclusive programmes offered by partners, such as technology days, export clusters, and pilot projects. Partners are a natural part of our value chain and help support manufacturing companies in their growth and internationalisation. All cooperation is chosen based on member needs and quality standards. Our aim is to build a network where manufacturers do not need to search for every service provider separately – everything necessary is available in one place.
Regions
Our association operates globally while also taking member needs at regional level into account. Activities are structured by regions, which makes it easier to understand local industrial specifics and needs. In each region, regular meetings, roundtables, and cooperation projects are held, focusing on the development of local companies, labour needs, supply chains, and innovation. The regional approach encourages stronger cooperation with local authorities, educational institutions, and development centres. Members can also participate in region-based working groups and projects. Whether it is industrial park development, organising a local fair, or delivering practical training – regional activities are vital for the vitality of the entire sector. Through our association, every member is visible at local level as well.

Learn more about Membership
The association regularly conducts sector and market studies that help members make informed, fact‑based decisions. Our studies cover manufacturing trends, labour market developments, export opportunities, technological advances, and changes in supply chains. They are prepared in cooperation with research and development institutions and include both quantitative data and practical recommendations. Members gain access to full reports, visualised analyses, and expert commentary. In addition, we offer on‑demand mini‑studies on specific questions or regions. Our goal is to be a strategic information partner for members – helping them understand change and adapt quickly. Through studies, every member gets a clearer view of its position in the market and a chance to take a leading role in sector development.
Membership Exclusives
Our association offers different types of membership that match company size, profile, and interests.
Regular membership is aimed at active manufacturing companies that are interested in sector development, networking, and representation.
Supporting membership is suitable for those who provide services, products, or expertise to manufacturing companies – for example engineering offices, equipment suppliers, or financial partners.
In addition, it is possible to join special programmes such as export clusters or innovation groups. Membership allows participation in activities in line with your interests -whether regional meetings, sectoral roundtables, or international cooperation projects. Each member company receives personal support and access to services that match its specific development needs. Our goal is flexibility and value – every member should have a clear reason to be part of our network.
Membership Benefits
Membership in our association offers much more than just being on a list – it is a practical tool for developing your business. You gain access to innovative studies and market information, participate in networks where cooperation opportunities are born, and increase your visibility within your sector. Our members can apply for the trust mark, use databases, and draw on the support of advisors and experts on export, workforce, and technology. We also provide support in understanding legislation, legal matters, and dispute resolution. Additional value comes from international visibility and participation in trade fairs and conferences as part of the association’s delegation. Strong membership strengthens your reputation, helps you find new clients, and increases trust in the eyes of partners. Our goal is that every member feels daily value and support from membership.
Member Groups
Members can join special interest groups that create focus and deeper cooperation around sector-specific or thematic topics. Member groups are an excellent way to find like-minded peers, share experiences, and develop specific fields. Through group work, proposals also reach the association’s board and policy-making. Joining a group is voluntary and flexible but brings valuable contacts, knowledge, and cooperation opportunities.
Supporting Members and Regular Members
In the structure of the association, two main types of members are distinguished: regular members and supporting members.
Regular members are manufacturing companies at the core of the association – they are the sector’s developers, employers, and innovators.
Supporting members are organisations or individuals who support the manufacturing sector with their services, knowledge, or products – for example educational institutions, technology providers, or consultants. Both types are equally important and can make use of the association’s services. Supporting members also have the opportunity to speak at trainings, support studies, and participate in development programmes. Through both membership forms, all parties benefit from cooperation and visibility. The structure is flexible and transparent – every member can find a suitable role.
Applying for the Trust Badge
The association’s trust mark is a symbol of quality and reliability that can be applied for by all members who meet the established criteria. To obtain the trust mark, we evaluate transparency of operations, quality management, occupational safety standards, environmental awareness, and customer satisfaction. The process is practical and supportive – our experts guide applicants throughout the entire procedure. The trust mark increases a company’s credibility in the eyes of customers, partners, and public authorities. It also provides an advantage in tenders and helps a company stand out in a competitive market. The mark can be used in marketing materials, digital channels, and on products. Applying is voluntary but recommended for everyone who wants to highlight their quality and values. Our aim is to recognise the best and support them on the path to growing trust.
