Value proposition

We are the Friends of Manufacturing. We believe that Manufacturing in America is the engine that drives our economy.

We realize the vital role that manufacturing plays in each and every community, big or small, throughout the United States. From the millions of jobs we support, to the products we make that are the envy of the world, America depends on manufacturing. Take a look around you, and you’ll see that manufacturing is, literally, everywhere.

But Manufacturing in America is under threat. Whether by government policies that favor special interests, or by foreign companies and governments that break the rules, our ability to compete and put more Americans to work in good-paying jobs is getting harder each and every day.

We believe that all Friends of Manufacturing, from the machine operator on the shop floor, to the small business owner with deep roots in their community, to the millions of Americans who want to make Manufacturing in America everything it can be, should have a say in government policies that affect their livelihood.

We believe that government should make it easier, not harder, for manufacturers to grow and succeed. And we believe that our elected representatives should be held accountable for the decisions they make. Every election year, politicians all say they want to help manufacturing, but forget about us once they get to Washington.

Friends of Manufacturing is committed to fighting for smart government policies that will have a positive impact on all our lives. But most importantly, we want to give you and millions just like you a voice.
