CAMA, is committed to meeting the needs of Colorado manufacturers to compete effectively and profitably in today’s global economy and to lead in innovation.

CAMA is focused on bringing together Colorado manufacturers to build a business friendly environment that enhances the image of, advanced manufacturing, increases the popularity of advanced manufacturing careers and contributes to the development of the Colorado brand for innovation and business competitiveness.

Though “advanced manufacturing” is a new term to some, it is what Colorado manufacturers already do every day. Advanced manufacturing encompasses all aspects of manufacturing, including the ability to quickly respond to customer needs through innovations in production processes and innovations in the supply chain. Advanced manufacturing of today and tomorrow is increasingly becoming knowledge-intensive, relying on information technologies, modeling, and simulation. Manufacturers are also taking the lead on environmentally-sustainable practices that improve performance, reduce waste and deliver the highest quality product

The entire Colorado economy benefits from focusing advanced manufacturing. Manufacturing creates more value across the economy per dollar spent than any other sector and produces new goods that fundamentally change or create new services and sectors. Manufacturing is how we realize the promise of an innovation.

Unlocking the full potential of our state’s advanced manufacturing industries requires a state-wide collaborative effort. CAMA will play a critical role in convening and aligning partners and letting the voice of manufacturers direct the course.

CAMA serves as a critical lynchpin in linking, aligning and leveraging all pertinent partners, resources and assets into an efficient advanced manufacturing model. Coordination will reveal and magnify opportunities for growth and innovation across all advanced manufacturing industries.

As a foundation, CAMA will provide member companies with money-saving and time- saving benefits, which may include exclusive transportation, discounts, shared legal services, and cooperative purchasing of employee benefits, among others.

CAMA will also go above and beyond the work of a typical association and add value centered on the six core objectives:

Retain, Grow & Recruit Companies

Through the development of a strong support network, business-to-business activity will flourish, optimizing efficiency and encouraging growth in new areas of manufacturing. Member companies will also have access to the pertinent data, trends, forecasting and training for supporting effective business planning, hiring practices and global development.

Increase Access to Capital

The Alliance will work to provide support from the financial services sector necessary to grow existing companies and launch new businesses

Build a business-friendly environment

Cultivate Innovation and Technology

Work to enhance access to state, federal and university research labs, incubators and technology accelerators to provide for the commercialization of new products and processes. Work to create a more fertile environment for innovation and growth through access to critical subject-matter experts and access to educational programs that support the development of world class manufacturers

Creating and Marketing a Stronger Colorado Brand

Branding can mean everything, and the Alliance will endow the state’s manufacturers with a stronger, more dominant voice, spreading awareness though marketing campaigns, special events, award programs and more.
