Founded in 1989, the International Hard Anodizing Association is a community of aluminum finishers from around the world whose core competence is the production of hard anodized surfaces on aluminum components. The group also includes “associate” members - manufacturers of semi-finished aluminum products, suppliers of chemicals, processes or plant equipment to the hard anodizing industry, as well as companies that use hard anodized components. The IHAA’s mission is to foster the global exchange of knowledge, technical assistance between members and collaboration in the definition of standards. The association thrives on the social connections of its members and looks forward to welcoming each new colleague.
