ADCAS was formed in 1997 by leading ductwork contractors who believed that the industry needed an independent voice and a specific identity. This proved attractive to both contractors and many of the associated companies who supplied services and products to the sector.

From the outset it was clear that many in the industry believed that a strong, independent voice was needed in order to help develop a specific identity. Associate members, or suppliers to the ductwork industry, were invited to join from the very beginning, giving the group a significant presence in the UK market.

The ADCAS of today continues to pursue the interests of its members, promoting them to the wider construction industry, bringing member companies together to discuss industry issues, liaising with government on legislation and other issues, working with relevant industry organisations and ultimately promoting the highest standards in the design, specification and installation of ductwork.
