The Trade Association of the Wooden Barrel Industry

 

Home

The Associated Cooperage Industries of America, (ACIA) was incorporated in the state of Delaware, New Castle County, January 29, 1934.

The purpose of our association is to serve as a contact point for the membership, distribute available information about the wooden barrel (emphasis on white oak), and promote the common interests of those in the industry.

The ACIA membership is made up of Cooperage Firms, Producers of Stave and Heading, several distillers and vintners, and other firms whose business interests are allied to the wooden barrel. Although we are small and non profit, we are international.

Our members are manufacturers of and dealers in:

· White Oak · Bourbon and Wine barrels · New and used barrels

· Repair/rejuvenate casks · Kegs · Stave and Heading

· Planter barrels · Specialty barrels · Bungs and French Oak barrels

Membership Value

The value of membership in ACIA is your contact with others in the industry and this is quite important as is meeting them at annual conventions.

Our conventions are held in the fall of the year.  The 94th annual convention will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 24—27, 2009. Our 95th convention will be held in the Bahamas in October, 2010.
