AssemblyLogisticsAlliance
Manufacturing as a Service
A collaborative alliance of steward-led manufacturers in Southwest Ohio — securing legacies, fostering growth, and delivering complete assembly solutions for domestic and international OEMs.
Mission
Steward-led manufacturing businesses in Southwest Ohio carry a legacy of craftsmanship, commitment, and community. Our mission is to secure that legacy, foster long-term employment and personal growth for our employees, and promote the expansion of manufacturing in the Dayton-Cincinnati region.
Vision
The future of regional manufacturing is collaborative. Our vision is to build an alliance of small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses in Southwest Ohio, leveraging each company's unique capabilities to drive collective growth through Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) for both domestic and international OEMs.
Our Goals
Protect Legacies
Preserve and strengthen steward-run and like-minded manufacturers so they remain independent, competitive, and rooted in the Dayton community.
Foster Collaboration
Connect specialized suppliers across Southwest Ohio to share capacity, knowledge, and relationships — creating opportunities that no single shop could win alone.
Grow Collectively
Combine capabilities to deliver local assemblies and complete solutions where the value of the alliance is greater than the sum of its parts.
What We Deliver
Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS)
We provide low- to medium-quantity production of partial and complete assemblies through a coordinated network of specialized suppliers in Southwest Ohio. OEMs gain a single, accountable partner while accessing the capabilities of multiple manufacturers.
Legacy & Low-Volume Product Support
Many OEMs are looking to outsource legacy, low-volume, or niche product lines that still matter to key customers. Our alliance is designed for exactly this type of work — complex, lower-volume assemblies that demand quality, reliability, and long-term support.
U.S.-Based Final Assembly for Global OEMs
For international OEMs, our Ohio-based facilities provide a trusted U.S. final assembly location, helping reduce lead times, mitigate supply chain risk, and support North American customers more effectively.
