The Gasket Fabricators Association (GFA) is an energetic and forward-thinking trade association comprised of organizations of all sizes who are involved in the converting/fabricating industry. Our membership of fabricators, and suppliers, supporting the converting/fabricating industry, benefit from insights, tailored learning opportunities, collaborative discussions, and valuable live networking. The GFA is where the converting/fabricating industry’s leaders and managers come together to be inspired and spark ideas about innovation, sustainability, and growth.

Attending GFA meetings is one of the most valuable benefits of membership, and it provides priceless opportunities to connect with top quality fabricators and suppliers, learn from industry experts, solve problems, and have fun doing it.
Held in the spring and fall of each year, the GFA’s semi-annual meetings feature a supplier expo, technical and business presentations, discussion forums, and plenty of opportunities to connect and exchange ideas.
The G/C Expo is a biennial event presented by the GFA. It has become the highlight of our gathering schedule, and it provides a unique and valuable opportunity for fabricators and suppliers alike.
The GFA is very proud to offer a Disaster Recovery Program, which allows Regular (Fabricator) members to benefit from knowing that in the event of a disaster, their businesses will be protected, and their customers will continue to have their product and service needs met. In the event of a disaster, this program will help you maintain business continuity and jumpstart recovery by giving you quick access to fellow GFA members whose capabilities best match what you may need.
Do not operate in a vacuum. With a deep resource library full of content, you will find the answers to your questions in a convenient, downloadable format that lets you put them to work immediately.
Interaction and collaboration are pillars of the GFA, and at each of our meetings, we offer a variety of sessions that give members a chance to discuss the industry’s most pressing issues.
