The Manufacturers Association of Maine (MAME) is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization representing the talented individuals in Maine’s manufacturing ecosystem.

We serve our membership by providing business development support, advocating on behalf of manufacturing with the legislature, promoting careers in manufacturing for young people through education, experiences, and scholarships, and organizing regular networking opportunities to connect members to growth opportunities, better practices, and resources within the State of Maine.

Approximately 1,880 Maine manufacturing businesses employ more than 57,600 Maine residents. The payroll tops $3.6 billion and accounts for 14.5% of wages paid statewide.

The manufacturing industry is Maine’s fourth largest, generating over $6.3 billion dollars of Maine’s GDP. Manufacturing in Maine plays a vital role in the United States and globally in military and defense, aerospace, metal, paper, marine/boat building, semi-conductor, wood, textile, aquaculture, biotech, medical device, electronics, RF and wireless communications, plastics, composites and bio-plastics, and food and beverage manufacturing.
