The Advanced Manufacturing & Logistics Network (AML), an initiative of Greater Louisville Inc., is a collaborative of manufacturing and logistics companies that come together to share best practices and engage with resources to improve individual business performance and strengthen the community as a whole.

The goals of AML are to:

• Be a catalyst for regional collaboration, leading the charge to build a stronger manufacturing and logistics network
• Be forward-thinking in our vision for AML
• Create more intentional connections with members, and provide members with accessible contacts to one another
• Acknowledge and promote member successes
• Utilize and promote member facilities for programs and events
• Curate policy and advocate for the interests of member companies
• Increase regional company membership representation
• Facilitate cross-industry connections to advance the future of the workforce
