The International Confederation of Drum Manufacturers (ICDM) is an international association of nonprofit organizations representing the world's premier manufacturers of steel drums.
Our containers ship both hazardous and non-hazardous materials, providing the greatest balance of safety, strength, environmental responsibility and cost efficiency of any container manufactured in the world.

ICDM members exchange safety, environmental and technical information to ensure our steel containers remain the superior choice for the transportation and storage of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The three member organizations include:
