For over two decades, A2Z Manufacturing has been more than a magazine. It has been the meeting place for America’s makers. From the first issue printed in Arizona 21 years ago, A2Z set out to do something simple but powerful: connect the people who make things with the people who make things possible.

Founded with a passion for precision manufacturing, the magazine quickly became a trusted resource and a place where machine shops, suppliers, and innovators across the Southwest could share their stories, find opportunities, and grow together.

Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of Charlie and Alex Hushek, who proudly carry forward the mission of connecting, celebrating, and strengthening the manufacturing community. While technology and tools evolve, the heart of A2Z remains the same: a commitment to the people, the craft, and the future of U.S. manufacturing.
