The International Magnesium Association (IMA) functions as a trade association within the mining sector, promoting magnesium use in material selection and encouraging innovative applications of the metal. Its membership encompasses the full magnesium supply chain, including primary producers, recyclers, foundries, fabricators, end-users, and suppliers, and it acts as the global voice for the industry. It supports the sector through events such as the Annual World Magnesium Conference, seminars, statistical programs, research, and publications. Based in Manchester, New Jersey, the organization was founded in 1943 and operates as a small to mid-sized association serving its members and the broader market. By organizing conferences and disseminating industry data, IMA aims to increase awareness of magnesium options and benefits among manufacturers and consumers and to encourage new applications; a notable recent development is the extension of abstract submissions for its 82nd World Magnesium Conference to January 20, 2025.
