The Utah Manufacturers Association (UMA) is a 116-year-old trade association that represents the industry of manufacturing in the state of Utah. The interests of the manufacturing industry have ranged from the workforce, safety, employee development, public policy both locally and nationally, business development, and community outreach initiatives. Whatever the business interests may be, the UMA has always been a one-stop shop where industry leaders can come together to solve the relevant issues facing the industry. We fight for the manufacturing industry because we know “what Utah makes, makes Utah,” for us all.

This is a question we get on the daily. Why should your company join the Utah Manufacturers Association? The honest answer is there is no one size fits all answer.

With a variety of different offerings what your business needs could be vastly different than another company but equally important. We offer discounts like the 5% Workers Comp discount along with group rates for health insurance and 401K programs.

Our in-house developed Frontline Leader Series focuses on the key issues new managers can face in a manufacturing environment and gives them the tools to be successful.

Our presence on the Hill during the Utah Legislative session and throughout the year is incredibly valuable to make sure your voice is heard.

Connection is key not only to find the right service partner to help elevate your business, but bonding over similar experiences in the industry. Our events, roundtables, and networking nights help foster those relationships to help you feel less alone.

There are so many other reasons to join UMA and we would love to help you learn more. Click the LINK IN BIO to learn more and contact us today.

As the industry continues to struggle with a shortage of skilled workers, the neurodiverse population represents a largely untapped—and highly capable—talent pool.

This is the guiding principle behind the Utah Uniquely Abled Machinist Program. The Utah Manufacturers Association has been working to recruit local businesses to hire UUAMP graduates, and companies are stepping up.

We are excited to welcome Core 4x4 to the Utah Manufacturers Association!

Core 4x4 started back in 1999 when a 14-year-old's ambition met a broken '89 Jeep Cherokee. With guidance from his father and a borrowed welder, he transformed that lifeless vehicle into a trail-ready machine. Through relentless dedication and reinvestment, Core 4x4 expanded from a 1,700-square-foot workshop in 2015 to a 12,000-square-foot facility by 2023. Each phase of growth was driven by a commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and the unwavering belief in delivering top-tier products. Jeeping is huge in Utah so if you are looking to make your dream machine be sure to check out Core 4x4. https://core4x4.com/

Many Utah manufacturers still rely almost entirely on trade shows and referrals, while buyers are quietly shifting their research into Google and AI tools. The manufacturers who move first to build a real AI footprint will reap the benefits for years and create a powerful competitive advantage. This is similar to the companies that acted quickly when Google first hit the scene.

In this session, you’ll walk away with:
💻 How to show up when the right buyers and suppliers are searching in Google and AI tools.
💻 Why ranking for specific capabilities, materials, and industries (not just your name) leads to better-fit RFQs and shorter sales cycles.
💻 What a realistic, step-by-step SEO program looks like for small and mid-sized manufacturers who want predictable lead flow.

If your website hasn’t been seriously updated or audited in years, this hour could change how you think about your digital presence.
