"We have been an 'active' member of the Narrow Fabrics Institute for the past year or so. So far, we are getting value out of the networking afforded at the annual meeting, during the IFAI show and the annual Outlook conference. We are hoping to build stronger alliances with the NFI members in the years to come so we can share experiences that will save us time and money."
