About the AMC

The Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry recently joined forces with the former Arizona Association of Industries to form the Arizona Manufacturers Council (AMC). The AMC provides a strong voice to the manufacturing industry at the state capitol. It works to ensure that Arizona provides a globally competitive environment for the manufacturing sector of the economy that promotes innovation and further investments in research and development. The AMC deals with a variety of policy issues that impact manufacturers of all sizes statewide, including the environment, energy, education/workforce development, human resources, and intellectual property. The AMC also hosts events of special interest to the manufacturing industry.
