About UPFDA

In 1968, UPFDA was formed to represent the suppliers to the pest management industry. According to the organization’s website, “suppliers felt that the best way to provide service to the industry was to establish an association to voice their common concerns and position on packaging, shipping, sponsorships, conferences, legislation and regulatory affairs. For 52 years, UPFDA has been giving this important sector of the pest management industry a voice.”
