Join us

Thank you for your interest in the Central Fabricators Association.

Throughout CFA’s nearly 100-year existence, quality of Membership has always been the primary goal. We purposely limit Sponsorship participation at our meetings to ensure sponsor representatives do not dominate and that members can interact with other members, which is the purpose of CFA.

CFA is committed to sharing best practices, and the growth and education of its members. The CFA Board has been working for the past year to develop a strategic plan to address growth and the changes in our industry. CFA Membership is now open to any firm in the United States that primarily fabricates structural steel. Our member companies range from small family-owned fabricators to large multi-plant, operations. CFA is proud to have industry leaders as members of our organization. See our sponsor list to view the variety of vendors who have continued to support our organization for many years. Through their sponsorship, CFA is able to offer our members one-on-one, face-to-face contact with executives from these national companies.

CFA reserves the right to limit the number of new memberships approved each year in order to maintain the culture of the organization. CFA Sponsors and Members are committed to our Core Values and are required to abide by a strict anti-trust policy.

The Application Process:

• Applications received in the CFA office are “batched” for review by the Membership Committee 4 times per year, normally in January, March, June and August.
• Applicants that meet the criteria for membership will be scheduled for a remote interview with committee members.
• The Membership Committee makes its recommendation to the Board for a vote by the Board of Directors. Normally Board meetings are held in March, May, August and October.
• Applicants will be notified of the status of their application following the Board meeting.
