AGMA AND ABMA MERGE TO FORM
MOTION AND POWER MANUFACTURERS ALLIANCE

May 1, 2025 – Alexandria, VA – On April 24, at the AGMA/ABMA Annual Meeting in Austin, TX, the membership of the two associations voted to approve a merger between the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA), creating the Motion and Power Manufacturers Alliance (MPMA). The new organizational structure will commence today, May 1, 2025.

AGMA and ABMA will continue to keep their names in the marketplace as the 108-year-old AGMA brand and the 107-year-old ABMA brand have a significant history and value to their respective memberships.

The new MPMA entity will deliver increased value through standards creation under the AGMA and ABMA brands, more robust education and workforce development programs, a strong connection of the supply chain via face-to-face events, two industry publications, and advocacy at the Federal government.

TOWN HALL MEETING

A Virtual Town Hall was held on January 24, 2025, where industry leaders shared the plans for the MPMA, and answered questions from its members.

A recording of the meeting is available below.
