September of 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association (HDMA). To mark the association’s milestone, a new logo has been launched commemorate the years of service to a valued membership.
HDMA was founded in 1983 at the International Truck Show Annual Dinner in Anaheim, California by 16 members of the Heavy Duty Business Forum, a discussion group of industry executives formed in 1978. The group collectively felt the heavy duty industry required a strong voice for industry-related government legislation, market specific tradeshows and events, as well as industry research studies focused on heavy duty issues and trends.
Soon after, the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association was approached to formally establish HDMA. 25 years later HDMA is a market segment association of MEMA, along with the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association and the Original Equipment Suppliers Association. HDMA reached a major milestone in 2004 with the addition of current president and COO Tim Kraus as the first executive director of HDMA. There are now 6 full and part-time employees dedicated to the service of the HDMA membership.
HDMA is the ONLY heavy duty industry trade association that focuses its efforts on behalf of the members through strong governmental advocacy, vital and timely market news and information, primary and targeted market research and premier events, executive forums and councils. Joining HDMA today will bring your company the immediate benefits experienced by our members. Click here for an application!
