Allegheny Industrial Associates > About AIA

Allegheny Industrial Associates was founded in 1991 with a strategic focus to improve load securement methods and provide protective packaging products within the transportation industry. From the beginning, AIA was supported by a team of railroad veterans looking to offer improved safety solutions and cost reductions.
AIA and Ecore International revolutionized the transportation industry with the creation of TransMat^®, the very first rubber friction mat for load securement.
As their exclusive representative of non-metallic strapping systems to the load securement industry, AIA is partnered with Carolina Strapping and Buckles Co. as their exclusive representative of non-metallic strapping systems for the load securement industry.
Allegheny Industrial Associates is part of the Signode Industrial Group, the leading global provider of protective packaging systems.
AIA TransMat^® has the industry’s most extensive list of AAR rubber friction mat approvals for load securement.
