The Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association (RCMA) is the national trade association representing the manufacturers of asphaltic and solar reflective roof coatings and the suppliers to the roof coatings industry. RCMA has more than 50 members who manufacture in or ship products to almost every state in the country, and is headquartered in Washington, DC.
Established in 1982, RCMA is a leading industry voice, promoting the benefits of roof coatings and providing its membership with up-to-date information on building codes and standards, technical developments, and other industry topics of interest.
“The high level of participation and dedication from our membership is a testament to RCMA’s commitment to representing the industry, and to promoting the wide range of benefits roof coatings offer,” said John Ferraro, RCMA executive director.
The Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association is a strategic partnership of roof coating manufacturers and affiliates that provides a unified voice to advance, promote, and expand the international market for roof coatings through education, technical advancement, and advocacy of industry issues.
