The board of directors of the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) and the Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturers Association (CRMA) have agreed to integrate CRMA members into the ARI, resulting in the dissolution of CRMA.
CRMA has a membership of 51 manufacturers of commercial refrigeration equipment and ancillary products. Thirty-four are currently members of ARI. The remaining 17 will be added to the ARI roster, which encompasses more than 90% of the U.S.-produced central air conditioning and commercial refrigeration equipment.
