The American Coatings Association (ACA) is an established organization with a renewed mission. In 2010, the organization took the name ACA in recognition of its new identity as an association that represents both companies and professionals working in the paint and coatings industry. Formerly known as National Paint and Coatings Association/Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology (NPCA/FSCT), the name ACA encompasses that which the two organizations have become when combined as one.
