Based in Washington, D.C., the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) operates as a trade association focused on manufacturing policy within the government relations arena. It represents both small and large manufacturers across every sector and state, aiming to be the industry’s voice in policy discussions. NAM highlights manufacturing’s economic footprint, noting that the sector employs more than 12.8 million people, contributes about $2.38 trillion to the U.S. economy annually, and accounts for 64 percent of all private-sector research and development. Positioning itself as a policy partner, NAM seeks to foster an economic environment that supports manufacturing expansion and U.S. global leadership. The organization engages in public events and partnerships to advance its policy objectives, including hosting the State of the Manufacturing Workforce Address in Dallas in February 2026.
