Plumbing Manufacturers International Annual Report Highlights ‘Past, Present & Future’

In recognition of Plumbing Manufacturers International’s 70th anniversary, the 2024 PMI Annual Report draws lines between the association’s “Past, Present and Future,” which serves as the report’s theme. Starting with a summary of PMI’s history, the report reviews recent accomplishments before describing plumbing manufacturing’s efforts to “rethink water” in response to water shortages caused by climate change.

PMI members are expanding sustainability efforts, developing a diverse, expert workforce and contributing to efforts to bring better water resources to underserved populations. The report provides examples of this work, as well as other notable happenings from the past year.

As much of the world faces urgent water shortages, PMI’s members are casting their eyes toward the future in search of new, innovative solutions. They are finding safe ways to reuse water and are reinventing toilets, plumbing systems and more in the quest to use water more efficiently. An important part of this work is developing the plumbers and other skilled trades workers needed to install and maintain the systems of tomorrow. PMI and its members have established various programs and initiatives to help build this workforce.
