AHTD Membership Application for Manufacturers

About AHTD

For over 40 years the Association for High Technology Distribution (AHTD) has worked to increase the productivity, profitability, and market share of our Automation Solution Providers and Manufacturers. Today, through a wide spectrum of association programs and services, designed by and for members, AHTD is a valuable resource for member companies to achieve their goals.

Manufacturer Membership (MAN) manufactures industrial automation products (IAP) for use in manufacturing machines, processes, or systems which require technical application expertise and their primary sales channel must be through independent ASPs.

Automation Solutions Provider / Distributor (ASP) is an independent value-added distribution organization that focuses on the sale of Technology based industrial automation products (IAP), Design and application engineering, and Support services.

AHTD’s Board of Directors will review the completed application to confirm the responses fit the association’s Membership Eligibility Requirements.
