Introducing IFSA – Uniting the Fastener and Spring Sector on a Global Stage 
In association with IWMAWe are pleased to share with our members that we are launching a new sister association, the International Fastener and Spring Association (IFSA) – a modern, international trade association designed to unite businesses across the fastener and spring industries.

Developed in association with IWMA, IFSA brings immediate credibility, infrastructure and access to a wider supply chain network. It’s not a passive listing. IFSA brings together manufacturers, suppliers and specialists in an active, professional community where businesses can collaborate, share expertise and strengthen industry relationships.

At a time when the sector lacks a dedicated global voice, IFSA provides a cohesive platform offering visibility, connection and practical support to help businesses grow and stay at the forefront of industry developments.

For IWMA members, this represents a natural extension into an adjacent sector, creating additional opportunities to expand your reach, build relationships and engage with a broader part of the supply chain. As part of the launch, there is also an opportunity to join IFSA as a founding member, helping shape the direction of the association from the outset.

Meet IFSA at wire Düsseldorf

Join us for an informal IFSA Meet & Greet on the IWMA stand:

Wednesday 15 April
4:00pm – 6:00pm
Hall 11, Stand D22

Meet industry peers, learn more about IFSA and discover how the association will support the fastener and spring sector worldwide.

Be part of a more connected future for the industry.
