AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology
U.S. trade association representing manufacturing technology builders and owner of the IMTS trade show and MTConnect standard.
AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology is a U.S.-based trade association that represents and promotes U.S.-based manufacturing technology and its member companies, those who design, build, sell, and service the technology at the heart of manufacturing. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, AMT serves members across machine tools, automation, robotics, additive manufacturing, metrology, and digital manufacturing, providing advocacy, economic intelligence, workforce development (Smartforce), and international market access. AMT owns and produces the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), one of the largest manufacturing trade shows in North America, held in Chicago, and operates the AMT Emerging Technology Center, a showcase highlighting advanced and emerging manufacturing technologies including robotics and automation. The association developed and stewards MTConnect, an open, royalty-free data interoperability standard that enables machine tools, robots, sensors, and software to share data, an important enabler for connected and automated factories.
AMT publishes industry intelligence including the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders (USMTO) report, Cutting Tool Market Report, MTForecast economic forecasting, MT Magazine, and the AMT Tech Report. It maintains international technology centers in Shanghai (China), Monterrey (Mexico), and Chennai (India), plus a representative office in Bangkok (Thailand), supporting members' global expansion. Through events, benchmarking surveys, research services, white papers, and the AMT Leadership Forum, the association connects manufacturers, technology suppliers, and integrators. While not a robot manufacturer itself, AMT is a central industry body convening and promoting the robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing technology ecosystem in the United States.
