The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers is the trade association that represents the interests of home appliance manufacturers around the world. Its members include manufacturers of major and portable appliances, floor care appliances and suppliers to the industry. Headquartered in Washington, DC, AHAM is committed to enhancing product performance and global growth of an industry that contributes many billions of dollars to the U.S. economy alone.
