It’s an exciting time for ABMA. Planning is in full swing for BOILER 2024 – ABMA’s Boiler Technology Conference and Expo, but the biggest news is ABMA has reached a significant milestone with the help of our inaugural class of manufacturers’ representatives.
ABMA was founded more than 130 years ago, and our membership has never been larger or stronger than it is today.
In the past three years, ABMA has increased its membership by 30% from 99 to 142 members. This includes expanding membership scope to include hydronics and, more recently, engaging manufacturers’ representatives.
We would have reached the record without our new manufacturers’ representatives, but this was certainly the cherry on top.
Our new manufacturers’ representatives are already getting engaged. In addition to the inaugural class of representative companies listed below, we have some long-standing members in other categories that also represent our manufacturers. Collectively, these companies are strategic, and their integration is essential to increasing the impact of ABMA and growing our reach within the boiler supply chain.

Many of the recent membership gains on the manufacturing side are closely tied to exhibiting at BOILER 2024, which takes place May 1-3 at the Gaylord Rockies outside of Denver. BOILER 2024 promises more exhibitors, attendees, networking opportunities, new products, and interaction between manufacturers and end users – BOILER 2024 is bigger but more importantly better.
In response to soaring demand, our expo hall has grown by almost 50%, with more than 85 companies securing exhibits, a record-breaking number of exhibitors showcasing their innovations and adding new features to enhance everyone’s experience.
