IAM – International Association of Movers
The association was founded more than 50 years ago, as the Household Goods Forwarders Association of America (HHGFAA). It then consisted of 18 charter companies residing in the United States and conducting business primarily with the U.S. Government. After significant growth, HHGFAA members voted to change the association name to the International Association of Movers (IAM) in 2008. The name was selected to reflect the worldwide scope of the association, as well as the environment and industry in which it operates.
Today, IAM represents more than 2000 companies across 170 countries. These companies are recognised as partners and innovators in the delivery of moving, shipping, and logistics-related services. The IAM promotes a set of guidelines among members encouraging responsible business conduct, fair dealings, honesty and integrity, as well as professional communications. Members of the IAM also acknowledge and respect cultural similarities and differences amongst its members, as well as abiding by all lawful agreements.
