Introducing AOSD
With an aim to establish an international forum to promote the safe and efficient manufacturing and use of new steel drums and pails to encourage environmentally sound practices in the management of the packaging life cycle, ICDM (International Confederation of Drum Manufacturers) was founded in 1994 by the following regional associations, i.e. SEFA (Syndicat Europeen de l’Industrie des Futs en Acier), ISDI (Industrial Steel Drum Institute) and JSDA (Japan Steel Drum Association). Those three member associations are to cover the following areas;
SEFA：Europe, Africa and the Middle East
