Detailed History
NACE was founded in 1943 by a group of engineers who were working to combat corrosion in the U.S. pipeline industry. The organization’s initial focus was on providing a forum for engineers to share knowledge and develop standards to protect critical infrastructure. NACE’s work became a cornerstone of materials and asset integrity management, and the organization grew to become the global leader in corrosion control. In 2021, NACE merged with the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) to form the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP).
