Printing Industries of America

It was the world’s largest graphic arts trade association, representing more than 6,500 member companies and an industry with more than $174.4 billion in revenue and one million employees.

Its purpose was to provide representation, training, education, research, and publications to the printing industry.

In 2009, after an extensive re-branding initiative, the association changed its name to Printing Industries of America and unveiled a new logo.

The Graphic Arts Technical Foundation activities are carried out under the auspices of the Center for Technology and Research.

In 2020, PIA merged with the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association to form the PRINTING United Alliance.
