The Manufacturers’ Agents National Association (MANA) is a North American professional association that supports Manufacturers' representatives.[1] It was founded in 1947.
It is an industry-independent association for representatives and their principals. Its focus is on representative and principal education and matchmaking. Activities focus on helping representatives and principals launch and sustain long-term relationships. Matchmaking activities involve introducing representatives and principals whose products and business models match and launch the interview process.
