About Us
In 1997, a small group of solid surface fabricators formed the International Solid Surface Fabricators Association. The Association’s main emphasis was on education, promotion, improving industry standards, cooperation with suppliers and manufacturers, sharing experiences and uniting for the common benefit of the industry. These ambitions are still the cornerstone of the association today.
In 2008, the board of directors voted to change the organization’s name to the International Surface Fabricator’s Association (ISFA) to fully embrace the wide range of materials available on the market, not just solid surface.
Today, ISFA is globally recognized as a premier trade organization serving the surfaces industry. ISFA exists to elevate the surfaces industry through safety best practices, education, training, advocacy, resources and networking. The association's core values of leading with integrity, being a steward of the industry, providing fact-based information and education, and advancing the surface fabrication industry are considered in all decisions made by the association's board of directors, committees, and the ISFA team.
These events are carefully curated to meet the needs of today's surface fabricators and countertop professionals. They are held as a means to continue to educate members about material standards, fabrication techniques, shop safety including OSHA requirements and silica risk mitigation, new material and tooling announcements, and more.
 ISFA's Behind the Surface podcast features business and management strategies, advancements in technology and tooling as well as other relevant topics. With each episode, Behind the Surface inspires fabricators to take their business to the next level by addressing challenges, sharing strategies and gathering insights from leading industry experts.
From standard operating procedures to email marketing, ISFA brings in special guests and elevates the potential for you to find success in all areas of your business.
 ISFA seeks to improve and empower the entire manufactured surface industry by providing industry insights and product updates in our quarterly magazine, Countertops & Architectural Surfaces.
With four standard issues and a bonus Buyers’ Guide, the magazine is curated to the needs of today’s surfacing professionals. The latest in materials, technologies, applications and every other facet of the industry are covered. The Buyers’ Guide showcases the latest and greatest products as well as a directory of contact information for suppliers of materials, equipment, services and more.
