This document provides an overview of the Association of Asia-Oceanic Steel Drum Manufactures (AOSD). It discusses AOSD's founding in 1994 to represent steel drum manufacturers across Asia and Oceania. It notes that AOSD members account for approximately 70% of the world's 200 million new steel drums produced annually. The document also summarizes past AOSD international conferences, noting a shift in recent years towards more technical topics like drum manufacturing automation and quality improvements. Finally, it outlines plans for the 2016 AOSD conference in Mumbai, India.
