NAMA Background
History
The North American Millers' Association (NAMA) was established in April 1998 as a result of the merger of the Millers' National Federation (wheat flour millers, established 1902), the American Corn Millers' Federation (corn dry millers, established 1918), and Protein Grain Products International. In 1999 the American Oat Association (oat millers, established 1988) merged with NAMA.
NAMA is the trade association representing the wheat, corn, oat and rye milling industry. NAMA's 46 milling member companies operate 169 mills in 38 states and Canada. Their aggregate production of more than 160 million pounds per day is approximately 90 percent of the total industry capacity.
NAMA has 29 associate
members that provide products and/or services to the
milling companies. Products and services include
milling machinery and systems, packaging materials,
cargo transportation, vitamin and mineral additives,
fumigants and other pesticides, financial services
and seed wheat, corn and oats.
Mission Statement

members to grow and prosper by providing leadership
through education, information and advocacy to
members, policy makers, customers and suppliers in
the areas of regulation and legislation, trade,
supply and consumption.
