Public Policy Initiatives

PTDA relies on its memberships in the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to represent PTDA and its members in public policy and government relations.

Through these organizations, PTDA is active in supporting efforts to pass or amend legislation to address the following priority issues. Visit the Government Relations section of the NAW web site or the Advocacy section of the NAM web site.

EU Monitoring Reports

Through our partnership with our European affiliate, EPTDA, we provide members with access to up-to-date news and reports on the developments in key European Union policy areas for the PT/MC industry. If you're doing business in the European Union, policy areas―such as environment, energy, trade and consumer protection―can affect your competitiveness and profitability.

Initiatives to Stop Counterfeit Goods

PTDA and EPTDA jointly support and promote among their members the highest standards of quality, authenticity, legality, safety and ethics in the supply of industrial products and equipment and do not condone the distribution of illegal counterfeit product.
