At PMA, we’re growing our industry as a whole while building successful networks for each member company.

Join PMA today, and you’ll appreciate many benefits:

Networking
Networking is the #1 membership benefit time and again. It is encouraged during the Annual Meeting and throughout the year by all members who have agreed to uphold the PMA Antitrust Agreement.

Annual Meetings
Held every year in Spring, the Annual Meetings offer valuable educational content, as well as the opportunity to network with other members and industry representatives. Registration fees are greatly reduced for PMA members.

Processing Techniques Seminars (PTS)
These trainings are in-depth, hands-on, education courses on the basics and some advanced techniques of the cast urethane industry. These are held every two years alternating with the Supplier Showcase. Two members from each member company are able to attend at no charge.

Supplier Showcase
Held on alternating years with the PTS, the showcase allows suppliers to display their wares to members during the Annual Meeting. Display fees are at a 50% discount to PMA members.

FREE Publications
All technical papers, resource material, and past meeting proceedings including PTS presentations beginning after the 2008 PTS, are all available at no cost to members. Technical papers and certain resource material is available for sale to non-members, but some resource material, meeting proceedings and PTS presentations are not.

Self-Certification Program Involvement
PMA’s Regulatory Compliance Self-Certification Program offers a way for members to demonstrate compliance with all applicable health, safety, environmental and transportation regulations by means of self-certification.  These programs help companies keep from losing time and money due to accidents, lower their risk of fines and liability, promote worker safety and protect the environment.

Listserve
Throughout the year, individuals and companies contact the PMA office with requests for products, services and information. These leads are compiled and automatically sent out regularly solely to PMA members at no cost.

Member Forum
All members have access to tips, techniques and other information on our website’s public forum Discussion topics may be started by any member, and individuals can choose to be notified when new topic or comments to existing topics are posted.
