Delaware Manufacturing Association

The Delaware Manufacturing Association (DMA) is an affiliate of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The mission of the DMA is to enhance the competitiveness of Delaware manufacturers in the global economy.

Serving as manufacturing’s advocate at the state and local government level, the DMA meets regularly to discuss the industry's challenges, identify solutions, and advise the State Chamber on topics that specifically impact manufacturers such as government regulations, supply chain disruptions, trade and tax policies, and more.

All manufacturers who are members of the State Chamber are automatically members of the DMA.
