INDUSTRIAL ESTATE MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION (AIEMA)
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

conference facilities where members can conduct Board meetings for
upto 250 people, catering facilities, Computer Centre and Training

Every last Friday of the month, AIEMA organises an interactive
