Dow Jones Description
PMA was founded October 24, 1949, in New York City. PMA's tradition of providing members with networking and educational opportunities began the same year with an event that would eventually be known as Fresh Summit. First known as the Produce Prepackaging Association, PMA was formed to help the produce industry seize opportunities that arose from new packaging materials developed in connection with World War II and to take advantage of emerging self-service produce departments.
