OHMPA Past Presidents & OAPC Past Chairs
The Ontario Hot Mix Producers Association (OHMPA), formed in 1974, served as the respected voice for Ontario’s hot mix asphalt producers on all matters affecting the asphalt industry. As of January 1, 2017, OHMPA amalgamated with the Ontario Road Builders’ Association (ORBA) as the Ontario Asphalt Pavement Council. Below is a list of past OHMPA presidents and OAPC chairs who have tirelessly served the industry, association and council and for whose leadership we are grateful.
