United States Industrial Fabrics Institute - Who We Are
United States Industrial Fabrics Institute - Who We Are

The mission of the United States Industrial Fabrics Institute (USIFI) is to build a strong coalition of US fiber, fabric, and end product manufacturers and to serve member company interests both domestically and internationally. USIFI member companies must:

  • be incorporated
  • have business headquarters or significant manufacturing in the United States
  • service or supply the United States specialty fabrics industry with products

USIFI is part of the not-for-profit  Industrial Fabrics Association International (www.ifai.com), the global association for the specialty fabrics industry.




Fair Currency Coalition

USIFI has joined the FAIR CURRENCY COALITION.   The Fair Currency Coalition is an alliance of industry, agriculture, and worker organizations whose mission is to support production in and export from the United States by seeking an end to the practice of currency misalignment by any trading partner.

Legislation was introduced in the U.S. congress on May 13 to rectify the unfair currency manipulation which exists in the world, despite agreements to follow rules laid out in WTO agreements.  For more information, see these links:
