The Wood Industry Association (WIA) operates as a trade association for North America's woodworking machinery and ancillary equipment sector, focusing on improving management operations, marketing programs, sales techniques, merchandising, and distribution for its members. Its membership spans domestic and foreign manufacturers, distributors, and importers involved in the manufacture or sale of woodworking machinery and related equipment in North America. Based in Forest Hill, Maryland, the organization sits within the machinery manufacturing industry, aiming to enhance efficiency and market performance for those it serves. WIA was formed on January 1, 2024, through the consolidation of the Woodworking Machinery Industry Association (WMIA) and Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America (WMMA). It owns the International Woodworking Fair, North America's largest woodworking technology and design trade show and conference, which functions as a major industry platform. A notable recent development is the creation of the James Scarlett Memorial School Grant Program to honor James Scarlett and support industry education.
