Welcome to the Marine Machinery Association's web site. We seek to help American shipbuilding remain the leader in naval ship construction, and are working to restore American shipbuilding as a leader in the global commercial market. MMA was formed in 1984 as the association of the manufacturers of the hull, mechanical and electrical equipment used in Navy ships. Over the years MMA has expanded to include all manufacturers of machinery and equipment as well as services related to ships and shipbuilding.
In addition to the many MMA conferences and meetings throughout the year (many in partnership with shipyards and various Navy and DoD customers), membership in the MMA provides excellent networking opportunities, regular updates on industry news and events, and many other valuable benefits.
Meetings and Conferences - The MMA has two bi-annual meetings which are open to the public. The Spring Meeting is usually held in the Washington, DC area. The Fall Meeting is usually held at a site convenient to the partnering shipyard or customer for that particular event. These events often include a tour of the shipyard or customer's facilities along with presentations on their current programs. Each meeting has its own theme and agenda prepared to address industry issues and challenges with presentations from member companies. The result is a one-of-a-kind forum for industry and customers to meet and exchange information and views on issues impacting the marine industry. In addition to the bi-annual meetings, MMA holds monthly meetings for MMA members to discuss emerging issues and to plan for future events. These meetings are rotated among member companies and customer locations and offer an excellent opportunity to develop business relationships.
Networking Opportunities - Success in business is all about relationships. MMA understands and appreciates this fundamental aspect of business and the value of networking to establish such relationships. MMA members have the opportunity to meet and associate with other professionals in the shipbuilding industry and share technical expertise and ideas. Members can use MMA contacts to reach potential customers, sources, and partners around the world.
Industry Information Updates - Regular updates of information, including trends and contract awards in the industry, are provided to MMA members via email. This information helps the members stay informed on the status of key Navy programs and provides insight on events that impact the marine industry.
MMA Online - The MMA website is accessed by many end users interested in learning more about the MMA members and their products and services. Our home page offers a one-click link to a listing of all MMA member companies, which features live links to member websites.
