The Association

SMACNA of Western PA, a chapter of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA), was founded in 1956 by a like-minded and driven group of professional sheet metal contractors dedicated to improving all aspects of their industry. Today, these same motives compel our diverse group of members to work toward furthering the goals of this association. Member contractors are actively engaged in all phases of sheet metal fabrication and installation, including HVAC, architectural and specialty fabrication work, manufacturing, testing and balancing, kitchen work, and roofing.

SMACNA of Western PA and its members contend that education and ongoing training are the keys to success in this ever-changing business environment. For its membership, SMACNA of Western PA has sponsored the following educational seminars over the past year:

  1. Effective Construction Communication
  2. Construction Law Update
  3. Design-Build 101
  4. Design-Build 102
  5. Safety Roundtable

Additionally, SMACNA of Western PA contractors annually contribute over $900,000 to the Sheet Metal Workers Local 12 Apprentice Training Program. This money funds the training and development of our qualified workforce. Each new apprentice is required to complete a four year program of classroom and on-the-job training. Upon completion of their apprenticeship, they can earn an Associate’s Degree from the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC).

Working together with our labor force is the keystone of our industry. Our relationship with Sheet Metal Workers Local 12 goes beyond historical labor/management issues. Both sides have recently committed $10,000 to initiate a joint marketing program to benefit the industry which will include a website Highlighting our shared goals and values, and our first combined open house and workshop for the architectural and engineering community. Working together to resolve issues and identify opportunities proactively has greatly benefited the relationship between our two groups, forever shedding contrived historical notions.

Located in Foster Plaza at 681 Andersen Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15220, SMACNA of Western PA works together and in unity with all of the stakeholders in the sheet metal industry and continues our tradition of over 60 years of service to our customers, our community, and our workforce.
