The previous name of this union was the Victorian Agricultural Implement and Machine Makers Society dating back to around 1885. The union was registered in 1908 and in 1913 changed its name to the Federated Implement Machinery and Ironworkers' Association of Australia. It reverted back to its original name in 1924 and operated until 1941 when it merged with the Federated Stovemakers & Porcelain Enamellers Association of Australia to form the Federated Agricultural Implement & Stovemakers Porcelain Enamellers & Ironworkers Association of Australia.
