Membership Benefits

Development of Standards – Member companies can participate in the development of performance and safety standards. Members are informed of potential standards and are given an opportunity to influence standards, while non-members often struggle to stay informed of standards activity that could have a drastic impact on their businesses.

Participation in the Development of ISO Standards – CAGI serves as the chair of US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for air compressors and drying and filtration equipment. As the chair, CAGI and its members can learn about and influence international standards that affect CAGI scope products. Access to draft standards at early stages of development is a benefit that helps members adjust to potential changes before non-members.

Interaction with Government, Regulatory Bodies, and Related Organizations – Members can discuss proposals and projects that affect the industry with representatives from, for example, the Department of Energy, UL, EPA, etc. As energy efficiency efforts proliferate, CAGI helps its members stay up to date with initiatives that could harm, or help, their businesses. Institute interaction with utility and energy efficiency organizations such as CEE and the Alliance to Save Energy provides opportunities for greater understanding and cooperative activities.

Access to Industry Statistics – Member companies participate in statistical programs within their section. The statistical data provides member companies with a tool to benchmark their company against other member companies and to be able to evaluate market trends. This data is not available anywhere else.

Networking – There is no better place to learn about the latest industry developments than from peers in the industry. Exchanging views and information with competitors within CAGI is the best way to stay abreast of industry happenings.

Promotion – CAGI promotes the use of compressed air through a variety of initiatives, including online training, participation in industry tradeshows, and the publication of articles in leading trade magazines.
