Georgia manufacturers are positioned well for growth in a post-COVID-19 landscape, according to Jason Moss, CEO of Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA). The August 4, GMA 2.0 post-COVID “re-launch” of the organization also kicked off a new membership drive for the state’s manufacturing leaders.

“Since 2008, GMA has partnered with companies throughout Georgia to strengthen relationships and partnerships between manufacturers and suppliers. The strong relationships created and empowered by our organization are playing a key role as businesses are emerging from COVID-19 shutdowns,” said Moss.

The August 4 re-launch and membership drive, sponsored by Taylor English in Atlanta, gave GMA members and potential members an opportunity to connect, fine-tune strategies and begin to devise new plans for the months and years ahead. “We are well positioned in Georgia for manufacturing to emerge strong in the wake of shutdowns that greatly affected production and development,” Moss observed, noting that the drive for new members continues through the end of the year, as more companies ramp up to full-production schedules.

The newly-opened membership drive is aimed at bringing even more manufacturing leaders together in order to strengthen their ramp-up efforts, as doors re-open and employees come back to the workplace.

Current and potential GMA leaders are encouraged to participate in any of the following 2022 events to explore the many advantages of membership in the fastest-growing community of industry professionals in Georgia:
