Manufacturers Marketplace

The Manufacturers Marketplace is a nationwide manufacturing database designed to bring together companies looking to expand their market and/or secure their supply chain.  It provides the most comprehensive search capability including locations, processes, certifications, NAICS & SIC codes, capabilities and much more.  It allows for unlimited searches and constant profile updating.

The IMA partnered with the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to develop and offer this database to manufacturers of all sizes, on a nationwide basis.  Over 300,000 companies are currently listed.  The IMA and the NAM are continually reaching out to manufacturers to encourage enrollment so profiles can be completed and searching for the perfect partner can begin.  Activity grows daily.

Any manufacturer can enroll in the Marketplace without being a member of the IMA or the NAM but will be charged the full annual license fee of $2,500.00 per manufacturing location.  It is only through membership in either the IMA or the NAM that a company can get the code to obtain an 80% Discount.

The IMA is the only manufacturers’ trade association in Illinois to offer this resource.
