National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers

About

The National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (NAAMM) has served as the leading trade association for architectural metal products in building construction since 1938. The organization represents manufacturers across six specialized divisions: Architectural Metal Products (AMP), Detention Equipment Manufacturers Association (DEMA), Expanded Metal Lath Association (EMLA), Expanded Metal Manufacturers Association (EMMA), Hollow Metal Manufacturers Association (HMMA), and Metal Bar Grating (MBG). NAAMM's primary mission centers on developing, maintaining, and distributing comprehensive technical standards and specifications for metal products used in construction. The association publishes authoritative manuals and guides including the Metal Bar Grating Code of Standard Practice, Standards for Expanded Metal, and Guide Specifications for Commercial Hollow Metal Doors & Frames. These publications provide critical information on product selection, manufacturing tolerances, design practices, and quality materials to architects, manufacturers, contractors, and building owners. Beyond technical standards development, NAAMM serves as a vital forum for member companies to exchange management and technical information while addressing industry-wide challenges including regulatory compliance, safety standards, and workforce development. The organization promotes careful workmanship and quality design practices across all architectural metal manufacturing sectors, helping to advance the industry through collaborative standards development and technical education initiatives.
