INDUSTRY NEWS
LX Hausys recently brought together more than 200 designers, fabricators, and members of the trade media for a Stadium Showcase at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The event featured everything from new low-silica quartz designs exploring color theory to thought-provoking conversations on tariffs and silica safety, led by ISFA CEO Marissa Bankert. It was a true celebration of innovation, connection, and community.
Fabricators from across the country will gather in Salt Lake City on June 18-19, 2025, for Fabricator Exchange™ (FabX), a hands-on event focused on connecting industry professionals, sharing ideas, and exploring solutions to real-world shop challenges.
The two-day event features shop tours, live machinery demonstrations, educational workshops, and peer-led roundtable discussions covering fabrication techniques, market trends, and business strategies. FabX is designed to help fabricators of all sizes sharpen skills, discover new tools, and build connections within the industry.
ISFA Member Engagement Coordinator John Lewis will be in attendance and looks forward to connecting with fabricators and industry partners throughout the event.
FEATURED ARTICLES
From across the country, fabricators are coming to sharpen their skills and elevate their businesses with ISFA’s hands-on training workshops. These sold-out sessions bring professionals together for intensive, practical learning experiences led by expert trainers who know the shop floor as well as the classroom.
Recent events have delivered techniques and tips fabricators can immediately apply to improve their workflow, product quality, and shop safety. Attendees consistently say these workshops provide more valuable insights in two days than years of on-the-job trial and error.
Next up: Solid Surface Training, September 17-18 in Kent, Washington! Don’t miss your chance to learn, grow, and connect with the fabrication community.
