Outside Processors Council

Formed in 1997 with the help and support of the AISI Outside Processing Managers Committee, OPC is an association established by interested parties in the metal processing business to serve industry segments including metal producers, service centers, distribution companies

The OPC’s purpose is to:
  • determine group opinion among its members regarding common ideas and concerns of outside processors
  • facilitate the lawful exchange of information and cooperative communication with the AISI OP Managers Committee
  • initiate Council-approved actions that benefit the metal processing industry as a whole—its constituencies, its customers, and its members.
The OPC is an industrial association, formed by interested parties in the metal processing business; serving customers that include metal producers, service centers, distribution companies, and original equipment manufacturers; primarily located in the United States and Canada.

The OPC encourages equitable and ethical business dealings. The OPC formulates, promotes and develops programs and activities designed to assist Industry members to operate with superior economy, efficiency, and safety.

The OPC provides the means for expression of Industry opinions upon questions affecting the Industry, and a means of maintaining contacts between constituencies that relate to the Industry.

This corporation is formed as a Not-For-Profit corporation under rules and regulations of the US Government Internal Revenue Service and the Ohio Secretary of State Offices.
