The AIA is the trusted voice of the asphalt industry in the UK, formed through a partnership between the Mineral Products Association (MPA) and Eurobitume.
We represent the UK’s suppliers of the raw materials used in asphalt production, as well as asphalt producers and contractors. Our aim is to raise awareness of road maintenance and condition issues, advocate for improved funding and investment in the local road network and promote industry best practice by sharing knowledge and expertise to support more sustainable, lower-carbon asphalt materials and maintenance approaches.
MPA Asphalt is part of the Mineral Products Association. It represents the interests of its asphalt producer, contractor and affiliated members with national and European regulators, road operator clients, specifiers, standards bodies and related industry sectors.
