GAS APPLIANCE MANUFACTURERS comprise the majority of ASGE members. Manufacturers share information with others who design, develop and manufacture products. Globalization, changes in gas, and environmental concers are some of the issues that demonstrate a real need to bring the industry together to re-think and re-shape the future of gas appliance.

CONTROL MANUFACTURERS work with appliance manufacturers to develop control solutions for modern gas applicances. They need access to information on changing regulations in order to develop products in a timely and efficient manner. Participation in ASGE offers access to the gas industry as a whole.

INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT BUILDERS face all the issues of the gas appliance designer, but on a larger scale. Concerns regarding safety, performance and environmental issues are universal and participation in ASGE benefits this industry group as well.

CERTIFICATION AGENCIES assist the gas inudstry in regards to standards and certification. This is a key element of the gas appliance marketplace by ensuring public and regulatory acceptance of products. These agencies benefit from ASGE membership by interacting with the gas industry as a whole.

GAS UTILITIES have an opportunity to provide feedback to manufactures and to learn what to expect from the gas appliance designers of tomorrow by attending ASGE Technical Conference and providing input for technical articles on the ASGE website.
