WORKING TO PRESERVE AND EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR IUPAT SIGNATORY CONTRACTORS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
Union contractors deliver unmatched value through skilled training, quality workmanship, and a commitment to safety. The National Steel Painting Contractors Association (NSPCA) is focused on helping contractors protect and strengthen that advantage through industry advocacy, practical resources, and a strong network of experienced professionals. As a member-driven organization representing contractors engaged in structural steel painting and industrial coatings, NSPCA works to preserve and expand opportunities for IUPAT signatory contractors across North America.
Our association provides a unified voice on the issues that matter most to industrial painting contractors — including jurisdictional preservation, certification growth, workforce development, safety and environmental resources, and industry representation. Through collaboration with industry organizations, labor partners, and contractors across the country, NSPCA supports initiatives that create greater project opportunities, strengthen the union signatory market, and advance the long-term success of our industry.
