FIA Headquarters Moves to Independence

The headquarters of the Forging Industry Association (FIA) will be moving from its current downtown Cleveland location to Independence, Ohio. The association will now be co-located with the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) and the Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI) in a standalone facility. The new headquarters features a state-of-the-art conference room where FIA will host their in-person and hybrid meetings, trainings, and conferences. The first event held at the new location will be an Open House on December 12, 2022, followed by the FIA Heating Technology for Forging Workshop (December 13-14, 2022).

Recently remodeled in early 2022, the building also boasts an outdoor patio, multiple meeting rooms, and a private parking lot. “We are looking forward to transitioning into our new home and hosting our members in a fresh, modern environment,” said Jim Warren, President & CEO of FIA, “It is a great location, with a lot to offer both in the building itself, and the surrounding area, while still being close to downtown attractions.” For more information on the FIAOpen House visit www.forging.org/about/events/153.
