Industry Consolidation for Stronger Advocacy

Industry leaders stated the merger is driven by the need for a single, stronger organization to provide unified advocacy on increasing regulatory and legislative issues at federal, state, and international levels, and to better represent the interests of manufacturers, contractors, and wholesalers.

“The compelling reason for the merger is the creation of a single organization representing our industries that will provide one voice and one message on important issues, while ensuring stronger advocacy to address increasing regulatory and legislative initiatives at the federal, state, and international levels. A single, stronger organization will better represent our interests.”
