The Vision: American Manufacturing Technology Academy (AMTA)

At MFGTecs, we are proud to be building the American Manufacturing Technology Academy (AMTA) — an institution dedicated to reigniting American independence through advanced manufacturing and technology education.

Mission Statement

The American Manufacturing Technology Academy (AMTA) is leading a national revival — a call to reclaim America’s strength in design, engineering, and production. In an age of rapid change and global uncertainty, the United States can no longer depend on outsourced labor or offshore supply chains. AMTA is committed to rebuilding domestic capability by developing the next generation of engineers, designers, and manufacturing innovators.

AMTA blends world-class design instruction with hands-on manufacturing experience — from CAD and additive manufacturing to precision machining and automation. Our curriculum empowers students to lead the future of American industry as problem-solvers, builders, and pioneers — not merely consumers of foreign innovation.

More than just an academy, AMTA is the launchpad for a modern American manufacturing revolution — inspired by the leadership of Donald J. Trump, 47th President of the United States. Through collaboration with top industry leaders, technology providers, and domestic manufacturers, AMTA will help restore American resilience, innovation, and global competitiveness.

We believe America’s future must be designed here — and it must be built here. With AMTA, that future begins now. Let’s Make America Independent Again by training the minds and hands that will power the next industrial revolution.
