The Professional Decal Application Association (PDAA) is merging with SGIA. Founded in 1976, PDAA consists of leading U.S. graphic installation and wrap companies. PDAA will become SGIA’s Professional Decal Application Alliance while maintaining its dues, referral, and certification structure.

“This is an exciting time for both PDAA and SGIA communities,” said SGIA President and CEO Michael Robertson. “While PDAA members gain extensive resources and market opportunities, SGIA graphic printers are able to connect with certified installers to grow their businesses.”

In a message to the SGIA community, Robertson noted that “We often hear from graphics producers that finding qualified installers is a real challenge. We are taking aggressive steps to improve this important link in the supply chain.”

He said PDAA will have two primary goals: 1) to help installers maximize their businesses; and 2) to grow the installer community.

In addition independent installers, in-house installers working for graphics producers will be encouraged to participate in PDAA. A discounted membership will be available to those companies involved in both SGIA and PDAA.
