Local Markets
Manufacturing on the Peninsula can range from high-tech machining to building complex components to small local makers that sell goods at farmer’s markets.
Supporting our Makers
Simply put, manufacturing is the process of creating a finished product from raw materials or ingredients. The Peninsula’s connection to highway, rail, water and air transportation makes the region a strong platform for small to large manufacturing firms. Our communities are strong supporters of business startups and will work alongside makers to reach development goals. Manufacturing-related needs can include engineering and plant design, efficiency reviews, food safety procedures and allergen testing, ISO certifications, supply chain management, marketing, market research, and supplier scouting. KPEDD has partnered with the Alaska Manufacturing Extension Partnership to provide critical tools for business development. If you are interested in starting or growing your manufacturing firm, call us today to see how we can help you make your goals a reality.
