Our History
For over 28 years, the Manufacturers Association of Central Florida (MACF) has worked as a not-for-profit organization to elevate the image of local manufacturing through plant tours/shop talks, workforce development, educational training and workshops, grant opportunities, supply chain assistance, and working with local and state legislators on issues facing Central Florida’s manufacturers. Our ties to local educational institutions allow us to encourage students educated in the area to remain in our community and join local manufacturers to strengthen and enhance our economy.
As of 2016, the Manufacturers Association of Central Florida (MACF) is now co-located inside the FloridaMakes office. Created by and for manufacturers, FloridaMakes is a service designed to strengthen Florida’s manufacturing companies by addressing the unique needs facing today’s manufacturing firms.
