Anchorage Industries – Manufacturing

Built-in Alaska

Alaska’s manufacturing sector is vital to the state’s economy, offering opportunities in seafood processing, aerospace, mineral extraction, and construction. In 2022, Alaska led the nation in seafood exports, with Anchorage manufacturers supporting Alaska’s fisheries industry through building processing facilities that specialized in everything from fish canning to frozen seafood production.

From crafting building materials for major construction projects to fabricating machinery for oil and gas operations, Alaska’s manufacturing industry is expanding onto the global stage. The production of high-quality, Alaska-based goods makes the state a leader in specialized manufacturing.
