SMACNA
 Sheet Metal & Air-conditioning Contractors National Association

Metropolitan Detroit Chapter is a local member of its national association located in Washington, D.C. which includes a family of some 150 chapters around the nation.

Along with providing the best services, skills and products available in the sheet metal industry, SMACNA Detroit is primarily involved in labor relations activities on behalf of its members with Sheet Metal Workers Local Union #80, representing approximately 125 contractors who employ some 1200 sheet metal workers throughout Southeastern Michigan.

We are intimately involved with the inspection Community, Unfair Utility Competition, Legislative and Political Action, Safety, Code Enforcement and other technical and educational programs on an ongoing basis, giving our contractor members a sharp edge on their non union competition.

Proud to be involved with SMWIA Local #80, we have been an integral part of establishing ongoing education for our workers, both apprentices and journeymen, as well as service and residential employees.  The local #80 apprentice training facility is one of the best in the country and turns out top grade journeymen after five full years of training and education.  Volunteers include our Board of Directors, Board of Trustees and many committees, all of which help to run the organization to make it a first class association.
