Welcome to the Central Fabricators Association
Founded in 1926, the Central Fabricators Association (CFA) is a not-for-profit trade association serving Structural Steel Fabricators across the Midwest.
CFA fosters continual improvement for business and personal development through education and idea exchange. Not only do we provide a forum for discussing management successes and failures, we also act as a clearing house for labor data, compiling industry wide reports for members on safety, wages, benefits, insurance, pensions and related topics.
Through quarterly meetings, publications and other educational activities, CFA keeps its members informed on what is happening in the industry and how to improve business operations.
Seminars | Publications | Personal Contacts | Statistical Surveys | Annual Safety Awards | Steel Mill Briefings | Shop Facility Tours
Most CFA members are also members of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). CFA encourages companies to join both organizations and many CFA members participate in AISC through committees and various leadership positions.
