“The explosive growth in membership of the SFIA in such a short period of time highlights the desire of all industry stakeholders to focus on growth opportunities that exist in our industry” says Bill Courtney. Clint Valleau adds: “The key elements of the association-promotion, advocacy, education and innovation-create the right atmosphere for moving the industry in a unified direction.”
The SFIA is the first and only all-inclusive association focused on promotion, advocacy, education and innovation for the steel framing industry. The primary goal is to unify the industry to expand the market for cold-formed steel framing. Membership categories include steel mills, coil coaters, processors, roll-formers, fabricators, engineers, material distributors; all the way through and including the end-user, the framing contractors.
