The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) and the Worktop Fabricators Federation (WFF) have announced a partnership aimed at expanding resources, education and advocacy for surface fabricators across the globe. The WFF says this strategic alliance will empower fabricators with the tools and support needed to excel in an increasingly competitive industry.
The collaboration between ISFA and WFF will bring new opportunities to surface fabricators, including access to cutting-edge training programmes, enhanced advocacy efforts and a broader network of resources. By combining the strengths of both organisations, the partnership will create a unified voice to address the challenges fabricators face in today’s rapidly evolving market.
Founded by a group of dedicated fabricators in 1997 and based in the US, ISFA has a longstanding foundation in the surfacing industry as a trusted resource, providing education, standards, community, industry advocacy and other tools that foster growth and success for its members. Initially focused on solid surface and engineered stone, today ISFA represents fabricators and industry professionals who work with all kinds of materials.
Launched in 2020 and based in the UK, WFF’s objectives are to promote best practices, standards and regulations that foster health and safety in the workplace. The WFF is a unified representative voice for the industry on matters of industry-wide importance, including silica safety.
“We are thrilled to join forces with the Worktop Fabricators Federation,” said Marissa Bankert, executive director of ISFA. “Our goals are perfectly aligned, and this partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to support and elevate the surface fabrication industry. By combining our resources and expertise, we can offer unparalleled support to fabricators around the world.”
