nearly 40 member companies, CFFA represents many of the world's leading
manufacturers of chemical fabrics and film. The organization was established
in 1927 to achieve the following objectives:
- To educate consumers on the uses and benefits of chemical fabrics and film
- To encourage the development and adoption of product standards and specifications
- To support research, technical and scientific investigations
- To collect and distribute industry statistics and trends to CFFA members
The association's members are organized into three divisions to best serve the individual needs of each end-use market: automotive/transportation, decorative products and industrial products. In addition to the research, marketing and regulatory activities of each division, CFFA also maintains active committees dedicated to technical and environmental issues, membership, manufacturing and other topics of interest to the industry. Benefits of membership include:
- An opportunity to work collaboratively with other members on issues affecting the industry as a whole, including environmental issues and government regulations
- Access to meaningful market information and discussions of industry trends
- Creation of industry standards for quality
- Support for research and technical projects
CFFA is governed by a board of trustees, consisting of a representative from each full member company and a trustee representing all associate members. The association meets in full session at least biannually, and the divisions and committees meet frequently throughout the year. The board annually elects a president and two vice presidents to oversee association activities.
