metalform

Precision Metalforming Association or PMA is a trade association representing the $137-billion metalforming industry of North America: the industry that creates precision metal products using stamping, fabricating, spinning, slide forming and roll forming technologies, and other value-added processes. PMA, still headquartered in Independence, Ohio, began in 1913 as the Pressed Metal Association. After becoming the Pressed Metals Institute in 1928 and the American Metal Stamping Association in 1961, the association changed its name to PMA in 1987 to better reflect the industry it served. Chicago-based industrialist and horticulturalist Bruce Krasberg was president of the PMA in the 1950s.PMA has 1,000 member companies primarily located in the United States but including Canada. The Association produces reports and provides other resources to its members.
