WCMA: Window Covering Manufacturers Association
WCMA, the Window Covering Manufacturers Association, was organized in the 1950s as the Venetian Blind Council and represents the interests of the window covering industry manufacturers, fabricators and assemblers. Industry products include blinds, shades, shutters, curtains, curtain rods, drapes, drapery hardware, and other window treatments. WCMA has three membership categories: Manufacturers, Fabricators, and Associates. Membership in the Manufacturers category is limited to companies engaged in the business of manufacturing or assembling interior or exterior window covering products. The Fabricator category includes members whose companies are engaged in the business of fabricating or assembling interior or exterior window coverings. The Associates category includes members whose companies are not eligible for membership in the Manufacturer or Fabricator categories, but are interested in the welfare of the window covering industry. Suppliers of goods and services to manufacturers and fabricators comprise many of the members in the Associates category. Standards from WCMA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.
