The NTMA is the national representative of the custom precision manufacturing industry in the United States.  Many NTMA members are small businesses, privately owned and operated, yet the industry generates sales in excess of $40 billion a year.  Our nearly 2000 members design and manufacture special tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, gages, special machines, and precision machined parts. Some firms specialize in experimental research and development work.
