Steps

  1. Use the current organization name: Advanced Textiles Association (ATA), formerly the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI); the rebrand took effect June 1, 2022
  2. Access current resources at textiles.org (ifai.com continued to redirect during the transition but ATA/textiles.org is the current name)
  3. Note the former Advanced Textiles Products division was itself renamed to the Emerging Technologies Division (ETD) shortly after the main rebrand; don't cite the old division name in current materials
  4. For awning/canopy-fabric-specific resources, look under ATA's relevant market segment/division pages rather than searching for legacy IFAI branding
  5. When referencing member certifications or standards documents, confirm the citation uses current ATA branding/URLs, since older bookmarked IFAI documents/links may be stale
