Regular members are machinery and equipment manufacturers the core of the association acting as innovators, employers, and drivers of sector development. Supporting members are organizations or individuals that provide products, services, or expertise to the manufacturing sector, such as educational institutions, technology providers, or consultants. Both types of membership are equally valuable and can take full advantage of the association\u2019s services. Supporting members also have opportunities to contribute to training sessions, support research studies, and participate in development programs. This flexible and transparent structure ensures that every member can find a role that suits their goals while benefiting from collaboration, visibility, and access to industry networks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bf7519 e-con-full widget widget_block wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2bf7519\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d44b7d0 e-con-full wp-block-heading categorytitle e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d44b7d0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6dae43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e6dae43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Categories<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49a4c2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"49a4c2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <ul class=\"wp-block-categories-list wp-block-categories custom-sidebar\">\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/joining-options\/\">\n                    Joining Options                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/joining-networking\/\">\n                    Networking                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/surveys\/\">\n                    Surveys                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/benefit-program\/\">\n                    Benefit Program                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/partners\/\">\n                    Partners                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/regions\/\">\n                    Regions                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/join-us\/\">\n                    Join Us                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/learn-more-about-membership\/\">\n                    Learn more about Membership                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/membership-exclusives\/\">\n                    Membership Exclusives                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/membership-benefits\/\">\n                    Membership Benefits                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/member-groups\/\">\n                    Member Groups                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item sidebar_active\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/supporting-members-and-regular-members\/\">\n                    Supporting Members and Regular Members                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n                    <li class=\"cat-item \">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/emma-association.org\/staging\/about-us\/joining\/applying-for-the-trust-badge\/\">\n                    Applying for the Trust Badge                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n    \r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporting Members and Regular Members The association distinguishes between two main types of members: regular members and supporting members.
