TMA 401(k) Retirement Trust for Manufacturers

RETURN TO RESOURCES

88% of workers say a 401(k) is an important benefit and 81% say it impacts their decision on where to work. Yet many small and midsize manufacturers have been unable to offer one due to prohibitive costs and overly complex set up and administration. According to the Department of Labor, retirement options are only available to 53% of employees at businesses with less than 100 workers.

TMA provides it members an established TMA 401(k) Retirement Trust for manufacturers specifically focused on small and midsize manufacturers (SMMs). The Trust reflects the values of the industry and provides high-quality employee benefits that could tip the scales when recruiting and retaining top talent.
