Old Millwork Shop with Tools - About World Millwork Association
From the Golden Age of the early 20th Century through the 21st, WMA is an alliance that stands the test of time.

New Name, New Century

From 1963 to today, our organization has evolved from a regional trade organization into an association of distributors, into a large alliance of national and international members including distributors, manufacturers, service providers and affiliates. WMA is not just an association. We are proud to be a true alliance of millwork professionals, dedicated to strengthening our industry. In 2014, our membership recognized that this evolution needed to be reflected in our identity.

Our new name – World Millwork Alliance – is simple, strong, inclusive and reflective of our progression into the 21st century.
