The APA is the premier trade association of the fireworks industry and was founded in 1948 with three principle aims:

• To encourage safety in the design and use of all types of fireworks.
• To provide industry information and support to our members.
• To promote responsible regulation of the fireworks industry.

For more than 60 years, the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) has set the agenda and determined the priorities that serve the common good of the companies and professionals in the fireworks industry. Learn more about the Benefits of APA Membership
