MASS was founded in 1968 by a group of non-competing manufacturers of sanitary supplies. The association offers its members a unique learning and teaching experience whereby all aspects of their business can be freely and frankly discussed in confidence. Collectively, members gain a positive overview of their industry that individually they cannot perceive. Over the years, membership has grown to the dedicated and enthusiastic group that we are today.

The MASS Group is focused on combining resources, knowledge, and support to assist in the growth of our individual companies and industry through joint activities aimed primarily at, but not exclusively to, the jan-san market. We are dedicated to a better understanding of our industry and strive for continuous improvement through best business practices. Together we form an elite network of business manufacturer professionals working to explore solutions to common problems, sharing knowledge and resources, to achieve marketing advantages in an ever-changing industry and world.

Meetings are conducted twice yearly, either at a central location or hosted by a member company. Attendance of all members is encouraged at every meeting, with a minimum mandatory attendance to one meeting per year to retain eligible membership status. All members must be represented by an individual who is knowledgeable regarding the marketing and operational activity of the member firm, and must possess the authority requisite to bind that member firm with respect to any association decisions or activities.
