American Iron and Steel Institute

The American Iron and Steel Institute is an association of North American steel producers. With its predecessor organizations, is one of the oldest trade associations in the United States, dating back to 1855. It assumed its present form in 1908, with Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, as its first president. Its development was in response to the need for a cooperative agency in the iron and steel industry for collecting and disseminating statistics and information, carrying on investigations, providing a forum for the discussion of problems and generally advancing the interests of the industry.

The "Steelmark" logo, originated by U.S. Steel and used by AISI to promote the steel industry. The logo of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chilean association football (soccer) club Club Deportivo Huachipato is based on the Steelmark.
