The Insulating Glass
Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) is a North American trade
association created as a result of the merger between
the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Association of Canada
(IGMAC) and the Sealed Insulating Glass Manufacturers
Association (SIGMA). IGMA represents the interests of
the insulating glass industry in North America and also
in the international marketplace.
IGMA draws on the
positive synergies of the former associations and has
evolved as the consummate technical authority on all
aspects of insulating glass manufacturing. A complete
and thorough review of both group’s activities and
structures was undertaken not only prior to the merger
but is an on-going process to ensure that IGMA remains
relevant and provides real value-added service to our
members.
IGMA is committed to
continuously improving our products and services in
order that we may meet or exceed the expectations of our
members. To assist the Board of Directors and our
Technical Committee, IGMA has implemented a Quality
Management System and we are ISO 9000:2000 certified.
IGMA operates in two
strategic directions; development of technical
publications and expertise including leading edge
research, education on best practices and providing
product certification to the North American insulating
glass industry.
New manufacturer and
supplier members receive a complimentary copy of the
IGMA Technical Binder which includes all current IGMA
technical bulletins, reports and technical manuals as
well as the complimentary update and new publication
service. Associate members must purchase the IGMA
Technical Binder but are provided with the complimentary
new publication and publication update service.
All members of IGMA
receive all the benefits that membership in the Alliance
offers, including but not limited to:
An exclusive
listing in the Membership Directory;
Newsletters;
Technical
Bulletins;
Complimentary
technical publications such as the Insulating
Glass Manufacturing Quality Procedure manual and

technical manual;
Invitation to
member's meetings including the Annual General
Meeting;

Access to the
latest research;

IGMA Library;
The Annual Conference
is an excellent forum for manufacturers to network with
their fellow manufacturers, suppliers and associates.
Additionally, this conference offers timely and relevant
Technical Presentations delivered by experts in their
field, which are of interest to our membership.
