ACDM has been formed in order to promote and represent the concept of new technology, 'composite' doors - namely, those made from more than one material.

The quantum growth of composite doors over recent years and the proliferation of manufacturers producing them, requires that a unified representative body is formed in order to establish recommended standards and to provide the specifier with clear information as to which companies meet these standards.

By setting minimum standards of product performance, as an essential requirement for membership, ACDM is establishing a quality expectation that can be relied upon from all member companies.

The nine founder members consist of the original pioneers, main suppliers and market leaders of this product concept, who are determined to ensure that the highest standards of this innovative product, continue to be maintained. Additional members are being sought but all must first prove their compliance with the necessary requirements.
