ISSFA Magazine

The Voice Of The SOlid Surface & Quartz Fabricator

For some time now we at ISSFA have felt the increasing need to expand upon the Business Journal and publish a full-fledged magazine more applicable and useful to our fabricator member base. The desire for a publication that would more directly meet your needs was communicated to us... and we listened!

ISSFA Magazine is beautifully crafted, colorful, thorough, accurate and inspiring, and is a publication that appeals directly to YOU. There is no other industry publication that provides EXCLUSIVELY for the solid surface and quartz fabricator audience, ensuring that your needs are met by focusing accurately on YOUR business world. Making ISSFA Magazine your primary source for industry news, communication and advice is smart, simple, and it is free with your ISSFA membership.

All ISSFA members who have been receiving the ISSFA Business Journal will be automatically upgraded to the new ISSFA Magazine at no additional cost. You will find all the familiar features and articles you enjoyed in the Business Journal, but with more pages containing more articles, a greater fabricator emphasis and bonus content.
