South Florida Manufacturers Association
Founded in 1961, the South Florida Manufacturers Association (SFMA) has long served as the leading voice for the region’s manufacturing community. As a nonprofit trade association, SFMA’s mission has remained steadfast:
To Serve Manufacturers.
With a legacy rooted in innovation, excellence, and growth, SFMA acts as a vital hub for advocacy, workforce development, and industry collaboration. One of its most celebrated traditions is its annual awards program, which recognizes exceptional companies and individuals whose achievements strengthen South Florida’s economy and uphold the highest standards of the manufacturing industry.
SFMA’s impact extends beyond recognition. Through its partnership with FloridaMakes, SFMA has generated more than $2.8 billion in total operational impact for local manufacturers since 2016, driving measurable success and long-term competitiveness throughout the region.
