The American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA) is the national, nonprofit trade association of commercial, institutional, industrial and electricity-generating boiler system manufacturing companies (> 400,000 Btuh heat input), dedicated to the advancement and growth of the boiler and combustion equipment industry.

Founded in 1888 by boiler manufacturers in search of safe boiler design techniques and materials, the organization today provides a common ground for information sharing and to achieve better understanding and communication between manufacturers, their customers, government and the public.  ABMA’s community of focused interest and problem solving brings the technical and production expertise of an entire industry to bear on a range of energy and environmental policy issues. 

For suppliers, ABMA is a centralized market place that provides unparalleled product and service visibility within the industry and beyond.

A member company of the American Boiler Manufacturers Association is not just another steam, hot water or combustion equipment company … it is part of a tradition of excellence and signals its exceptional commitment and obligation to the market, its customers and to the public to provide safe, efficient, clean and reliable hot water, comfort heating, process steam, heat recovery and electricity-generating steam systems.
