Who is UPFDA?
UPFDA is an association of pest management industry product and service suppliers. We come together to support professional growth, strengthen industry connections, and ensure ethical business practices. We achieve this by meeting at PestWorld and our Spring Conference, and through our committee work and regular electronic communications. We welcome prospective members to experience the friendly support and collaboration that is part of UPFDA membership. At the United Producers, Formulators and Distributors Association (UPFDA), our goal is to support the pest management industry through quality products, services, training and research. Our activities and meetings focus on providing networking opportunities for our members to learn about each other, develop new relationships – all with the goal of generating the foundation of materials and supplies for the industry. Learn more about the positive impact we have and join us in bringing about positive change.
