The official publications of FMA include - The Fabricator®, The Tube and Pipe Journal®, The Welder®, The Fabricator® en Español, Canadian Metalworking, and Canadian Fabricating & Welding.  

FMA also has two technology affiliates, the Tube and Pipe Association, (TPA) which focuses on the unique needs of members involved in production and fabrication of welded and seamless pipe and tube and the Association of Metal Processors and Distributors (AMPD) which serves professionals in the steel distribution industry.  

FMA’s charitable foundation, SparkForce (formerly known as Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs®), provides grants to community and technical colleges to produce manufacturing summer camps for youth ages 12-16 to introduce them to manufacturing career options. The foundation provides scholarships for qualified students in post-secondary educational programs leading to careers in manufacturing as well.  

FMA is also a co-founder of Manufacturing Day, a national movement dedicated to addressing common misconceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors in a coordinated effort to showcase modern manufacturing.
