The '''Association des industries d'Haïti''' (ADIH), founded in 1980, is an association of around 100 manufacturers in [[Haiti]].<ref name="Hall" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.adih.ht|title=Association des industries d'Haïti|language=French|accessdate=October 24, 2016}}</ref> It is currently headed by executive director Grégor Avril and president George B. Sassine. It is best known internationally for its work promoting assembly plants in Haiti.<ref name="Hall" />

== Chronology ==
In early 1986, during a period of social upheaval, the ADIH called on the government of [[Jean-Claude Duvalier]] to exercise "tolerance and moderation".<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ceïbe|first1=Cathy|title=Le 7 février 1986.

In 1989, it began lobbying efforts on the issue of textile quotas for Haiti.<ref name="AAP" /><ref name="Hall" /> After the [[Jean-Bertrand Aristide#1991 coup d'état|1991 coup d'état]] which brought general [[Raoul Cédras]] to power, the association managed escrow accounts for tax collection from foreign corporate entities in Haiti until 1994.<ref name="Hall" /> In 2004, the association stated that they viewed the second overthrow of [[Jean-Bertrand Aristide]] as a positive development.<ref name="Hall" /> In coordination with [[Bill Clinton]],<ref name="KQ_Haiti">{{cite web |last1=Katz |first1=Jonathan |title=The King and Queen of Haiti |url=http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/05/clinton-foundation-haiti-117368 |website=Politico |accessdate=September 21, 2016 |date=May 4, 2015}}</ref> they successfully lobbied the US government from 2003 to 2006 to ensure that textiles coming from Haiti would no longer be subject to import tariffs.
