Who We Are & What We Do

The U.S. Advanced Ceramics Association (USACA) is a 501(c)(6) business league that champions the business interests of the advanced ceramic producers and end-users.  The Association was formed in 1985 and members range from the largest U.S. industrial companies to smaller corporations dedicated to the manufacture of advanced ceramic products including ceramic matrix composites, coatings, and monolithic structures.  USACA is the leading voice of the advanced ceramics industry before the U.S. Congress, federal agencies and industrial users.
