Manufacturing
The key to our future

The Hunter Manufacturing Awards (HMA) inspire and encourage vibrant and enduring manufacturing in our region.

The Hunter’s manufacturers are not only keeping pace – they are leading the way nationally and internationally. They are the leaders and innovators who work across networks and supply chains. They are outward-looking with a business strategy that is future-focused and agile.

In 2019 the Hunter Manufacturing Awards are transforming to keep pace with our changing sector, featuring a new and contemporary approach across the Awards and our engagement.

Working collaboratively with key regional organisations, the Awards showcase excellence across innovation, product design, technology, emerging talent and more to the region, and to the world.
