The
International Card Manufacturers Association
(ICMA) was formed in 1990 and serves the dynamic
plastic card industry and the various companies
and organizations involved in manufacturing
and personalizing these cards. Billions of
plastic cards now fill pockets and purses
throughout the world. As the complexity of
card manufacturing and applications has increased,
so have the production, standards, quality,

the cards. The need to bring together these
diverse elements of the plastic card industry
led to the formation of the ICMA.
