The Decorative Plumbing & Hardware Association is a cutting-edge nonprofit organization whose mission is to create competitive advantages for its nearly 500 members by advancing the business and professional development of independent dealers, manufacturers, representatives and others involved in the decorative plumbing and hardware industry.
DPHA employs a unique consensus-based approach to accomplish its mission that treats showrooms manufacturers/importers and manufacturer’s representatives as peers and partners. Innovation has been a DPHA hallmark evidenced by the fact that DPHA showroom staff, product, sales and consumer education programs are available to DPHA members only.
DPHA's well-deserved reputation for quality and ability to create value for its members have enabled the organization to become the nation’s largest association dedicated exclusive to advance the interests of the independent decorative plumbing and hardware channel. Since its creation in 2002, DPHA has produced more and more meaningful products for the industry than were produced in the previous three decades. DPHA has been lauded as "the Essence of a Trade Association" by Kitchen & Bath Design News. The magazine also recognized DPHA with a First Place Industry Leadership Award for the organization’s tremendous contributions to providing a voice and direction to the industry.
DPHA's first voluntary Data Standard provides a uniform framework for pricing information that can be used by almost every point of sale, inventory, account, product management and ordering systems. While the approval of this voluntary standard is only a first step, it does represent a monumental leap in helping the decorative plumbing and hardware industry become more efficient and professional. DPHA is proud to help facilitate that movement.
Check out the DPH Perspective Column in Kitchen and Bath Design News that describes the DPHA Voluntary Data Standards.
