The South Wales Materials Association was renamed from South Wales Metallurgical Association (formerly Swansea and District Metallurgical Society) in October 2005 to represent a move from purely metallurgical focus to a wider materials basis.
The SWMA covers an area from Cardiff to as far west as Aberystwyth. The majority of our events are held at Swansea University.
