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.
