To Replace Misconceptions With Verified Understanding

ACPIA was founded to support Aluminium Composite Panel manufacturers and the global façade ecosystem. Across many markets, ACP is often misunderstood as one single category. This creates confusion around safety, approvals, and specifications — especially when the industry has evolved significantly, including modern non-combustible core options.

Clear Message for the Public & Authorities

ACP is an architectural innovation. When specified correctly and installed as part of a compliant façade system — with the right design detailing, materials, and verification — ACP solutions can meet strict safety expectations and sustainability goals.

System-first mindset: Safety depends on the complete façade system, not only the panel.
Compliance culture: correct specification, competent installation, and responsible inspection.
Evidence-led understanding: standards alignment and third-party certification literacy.

Who This Platform Serves

ACPIA is built as a neutral industry table where manufacturers, certification bodies, consultants, and authorities can jointly guide the market and simplify understanding for layman audiences.
