The CARMA Story - Connecting People.

The Central Alberta Rural Manufacturers Association (“CARMA”) is the voice of manufacturing in Central Alberta. It is a network of innovative manufacturers of all sizes, from a wide range of industry sectors, who work together exploring new ways of enhancing productivity and improving their bottom lines. CARMA members often compare notes on local issues and the challenges of competing in an ever-changing, global marketplace.

Through networking and education events, CARMA members gain instant access to an amazing depth and breadth of technology, expertise and information – much of it from right here in our own communities and among the CARMA membership. CARMA also taps external resources, introducing members to new ideas and solutions proven to work for manufacturers elsewhere.

If your company makes products by adding value to raw materials and you are located between Edmonton and Calgary, CARMA is your opportunity to see what works for others, hear what the experts have to say and use that knowledge to build a competitive advantage for your operation. It’s your source for great ideas and valuable information for manufacturers right here at home.
