As the association for over 200 U.S. mold manufacturers, the AMBA is focused on providing a myriad of resources to keep its members and the domestic mold building community at large in tune with current economic trends, industry-wide challenges, emerging technologies and more.
The AMBA accomplishes this through advocacy efforts, workforce development resources, member-specific tools that address capacity utilizing and drive member growth and more.
One of the most unique features of AMBA membership is the availability of the Find a Mold Builder search engine on AMBA's website. This search engine provides suppliers, partners, potential customers and other members with a searchable tool that lists AMBA companies by geographic location and facility capabilities.
AMBA offers its members an opportunity to share internal work capacity and view the open capacity of other AMBA members. This is a members-only tool intended to address open capacity in the industry and encourage AMBA members to share work opportunities with one another when needed.
The AMBA supports its members by advocating for their interests on the national stage. The AMBA works with Congress and other government officials with the help of its advocacy partner, The Franklin Partnership.
Areas of focus have included:
