OBJECTIVES AND SERVICES FOR AFFILIATE MEMBERS
History GA was established in 1949 at the instigation of the Zinc Development Association (ZDA), and operated within the ZDA for forty years. In 1989, GA became independent of the ZDA, and its operations were relocated from London to Birmingham.
Members Member companies account for over 95% of the UK and Irish general galvanizing market. The leading producers and importers of zinc for the UK galvanizing industry are also subscribing members. A number of equipment and consumable suppliers to the industry have non-voting Affiliate Membership, and a significant cohort of non-UK/Ireland galvanizing companies have non-voting International Affiliate Membership.
Mission The mission of the Association is to provide timely, efficient and costeffective marketing, technical, environmental and health & safety representational services on behalf of the industry and thereby increase the consumption of hot dip galvanized steelwork in the UK and Irish markets.
