LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURES

uccessful business owners know how to make the
most of existing resources. That's why textile professionals around the world tap into the wide and deep
resources of Industrial Fabrics Association International
(IFAI). Those resources include trade shows, training events,
magazines, professional certifications, lobbying efforts,
content-rich websites, product directories and webinars.
But here's a curious fact: Many attendees of our events
don't realize that IFAI is a nonprofit trade association. This
is significant, because being an IFAI member company
means ready access to the entire specialty fabric and
technical textiles industry-a world market estimated at
$147 billion in 2018.
IFAI supports member companies in 13 market niches
and 35 countries. In fiscal year 2018, IFAI invested more
than $8 million to advance the industry and support
member programming. That investment is especially
obvious in several new member benefits-many of which
can help businesses recruit and retain employees.
