The Ambattur Industrial Estate Manufacturers' Association (AIEMA) is the association of the units at Ambattur industrial estate. It was formed in 1963 to cater to the needs of the big, medium and large scale enterprises of the Ambattur Industrial Estate. The association liases with the Government, Statutory Bodies, Financial Institutions and other such organisations for the benefit of its members.

AIEMA, by virtue of its diversified associates and excellent customer services, is certainly one of the best-run industrial associations in the state. A committee headed by the President, a council of office bearers and a set of committee members coordinate the activities of AIEMA.

AIEMA's monitoring of the industrial scene and interest of the member units has been so effective that other industrial associations in the districts of Tamil Nadu have begun looking upto AIEMA for guidance.

AIEMA has several specialised associates, like the AIEMA Technology Centre (ATC), which was set up exclusively for the conceptualisation, planning and execution of Technology, Training and Human Resource Decelopment needs of the industrial units in Ambatur. The ATC provides conference facilities where members can conduct Board meetings for upto 250 people, catering facilities, Computer Centre and Training facilities and organises Worker Development programmes, Executive Development Programmes, Community Development Programmes and events like Industrial Exhibitions or Buyers - Sellers meet.

Other associates of AIEMA are AIEMA Silver Jubilee Trust, AIEMA Creche, AIEMA Technology Centre Educational Trust, ACMEE (Automobiles and allied services, Computers and peripherals, Machinery and Machine tools, Electrical equipment, Electronics and controls) and AIEMA Civic Exnora. Some of the benefits of being an AIEMA member can be discounts for participating in ACMEE, weekly information circulars, Buyer's Guide Listing and the AIEMA Business Information Centre (ABIC).

Every last Friday of the month, AIEMA organises an interactive forum between its members and various representatives of government departments like the Police department or Fire department or the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB). Here, the problems of the members are addressed to representatives of the concerned department. On the spot solutions are given wherever possible or the grievance is addressed as soon as possible.
