Protecting America's medical supply chain
The American Medical Manufacturers Association represents domestic PPE and critical medical supply manufacturers. We work to protect American manufacturers — and the health and security of all Americans.
A robust U.S. manufacturing sector
AMMA is dedicated to fostering a robust U.S. manufacturing sector through targeted policies and market incentives — ensuring American consumers benefit from domestically produced, high-quality protective gear.
Our Vision
- Reduce shortages and bolster preparedness for future emergencies
- Safeguard public health and promote national security
- Build on bipartisan political consensus
- Create American jobs
Five strategic objectives
We work with HHS, DHS, Commerce, State, VA, DoD, CBP, USTR, the White House, and manufacturing champions on Capitol Hill to pursue:
1. Federal Grant Programs
Direct investment to build and expand domestic manufacturing capacity.
2. Volume Guarantees & Price Commitments
Demand certainty that gives American producers the confidence to invest.
3. Tax Incentives & Subsidies
Targeted incentives that close the gap created by foreign government subsidies.
4. Trade Enforcement
Tariffs and enforcement against dumping and loopholes that undercut U.S. makers.
5. Public Relations
Raising national awareness of the value of American-made medical supplies.
Over 90% of medical gloves are made overseas
Decades of globalization left the U.S. dependent on a handful of foreign suppliers — many leveraging government subsidies, trade loopholes, and exploitative labor practices to undercut American manufacturers.
Supporting domestic production means a secure, reliable supply chain; consistent quality; ethical, fair labor; and American jobs. When the next disruption comes, a robust U.S. manufacturing sector will be ready.

A supply chain consistent with American values
AMMA protects the health and security of Americans by promoting a public health supply chain that is ethical, equitable, and resilient against disruptions — anchored in domestic manufacturing for both raw materials and finished goods.
That means strong environmental and labor standards, safeguards against forced labor and corruption, and an innovative industry that creates jobs and prosperity for Americans.
