British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA)

BAMA

The British Aerosol Manufacturers' Association (BAMA) was founded in 1961 to represent the aerosol industry, from suppliers of components, ingredients, and machinery manufacturers to fillers and marketers of aerosol products. BAMA has approximately 90 members, ranging from individual consultancies to multinational corporations. The BAMA Board has developed a strategy for the Association until 2025.

Membership

BAMA is internationally recognised for setting high standards and offering various support services to assist members throughout the industry. To broaden its membership across the supply chain, BAMA plans to include marketers, machinery and component manufacturers, chemical producers, hauliers, and distributors. The new Associate Membership category will expand the knowledge base to include other associations, educational institutions, and service providers to facilitate discussions within its committees and working groups.
