About ISFA

For over 25 years, ISFA has been the trusted voice and resource for surface fabricators and professionals. What began in 1997 as a grassroots group of solid surface fabricators quickly grew into a thriving association focused on education, safety, advocacy, and connection. 

In 2008, we expanded our mission and rebranded as the International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA), embracing the full spectrum of premium materials. 

Today, ISFA exists to give fabricators an edge. Through training, exclusive resources, industry advocacy, and a supportive professional network, we help businesses of all sizes succeed in an evolving market. 

And in 2025, we've unveiled a fresh new brand identity and tagline to reflect our modern, dynamic industry while staying true to our founding values.


Who we are

ISFA is a member-driven, non-profit trade association led by experienced fabricators, industry professionals, and a member-elected board of directors. We are passionate advocates for the people behind the surfaces — providing tools, training, and opportunities that empower fabricators to thrive.
