RADTECH INTERNATIONAL NORTH AMERICA

What RADTECH INTERNATIONAL NORTH AMERICA does

RadTech International North America, Inc. is a non-profit trade association and the primary industry body serving the ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curing technology sector in North America. Headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland (with a contact office in Bethesda, MD), the organization operates under the leadership of Executive Director Gary Cohen and is governed by its membership base. Its underlying technology domain spans UV and EB curing equipment, chemicals, and services used in industrial applications where formulated products are converted to final form via photopolymerization.

The association generates revenue through tiered annual membership subscriptions ranging from $85 (Student Affiliate) to $8,500 (Corporate Supplier – Major, for companies with annual UV/EB product revenue above $10 million), plus event-based income. Membership categories are structured to capture the full industry value chain: Corporate Suppliers (tiered by UV/EB revenue), End Users (corporate and individual), and Affiliates (applications support, NGO/government/academia, and students). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via an online membership portal built on Wild Apricot membership software, with no third-party resellers.

RadTech's product/service surface centers on industry events and educational programs — including the RadTech UV+EB Technology Expo & Conference, RadTech Fall Meeting, Photopolymer Week (hosted at University of Colorado Boulder), and transatlantic events such as RadTech Europe. It also operates PAMA (Photopolymer Additive Manufacturing Alliance) as a sub-brand program advancing NIST-roadmapped research in stereolithography and inkjet additive manufacturing. The 2024 co-location of the IUVA Americas Conference with RadTech's flagship expo represents the organization's most significant recent partnership, signaling strategic ecosystem expansion across the broader ultraviolet technology community.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• ASM International: Materials information society serving engineers and scientists across metals, polymers, and advanced materials. Comparable membership-association business model with conferences, education, and standards work; overlapping on materials-processing constituencies relevant to UV/EB.
• Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE): Long-established professional society for the global plastics industry. Broader than RadTech but overlapping on photopolymer curing, additive manufacturing, and polymer processing — competing for the same industrial member companies' association budgets.

Emerging players

• Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC): North American trade association for the adhesive and sealant industry, where UV/EB curing is a key technology. Comparable industry-association structure and overlapping end-user companies in formulated products converting to final form.
• AIMCAL (Association of International Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators): Global trade association serving the metallizing, coating, and laminating industry — many members use UV/EB curing. Similar size and membership-based business model, competing for dues from converting/finishing industry suppliers.
• SAMPE (Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering): Membership organization focused on advanced materials and process engineering, including composites and additive manufacturing. Comparable event-driven, technical-association model with overlap on photopolymer and additive manufacturing topics served by RadTech's PAMA sub-brand.

Regional players

• RadTech Japan: Japan-based sister association in the RadTech global network, focused on UV/EB technology in the Japanese market. Directly comparable organization structure and mission; serves as a regional alternative for Asian members.

Direct peers

• International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA): Global association focused on ultraviolet technologies and disinfection/disinfection-by-UV applications. Already partnered with RadTech for co-located events (Orlando 2024); serves a partially overlapping ultraviolet-focused membership base.
• RadTech Europe: Regional counterpart trade association serving the UV/EB technology industry in Europe. Directly comparable as a membership organization with similar events (e.g., RadTech Europe Conference in Munich) and overlapping supplier/end-user constituencies.
