NIA is a not-for-profit organization representing all facets of the commercial, industrial, and mechanical insulation industry. NIA is led and funded by its members, and it operates through a committee structure. These committees and various task forces review and assess issues and recommend actions to NIA’s Board of Directors. Approved actions are then carried out by NIA’s staff.

Since 1953, NIA has been the voice of the insulation industry, dedicated to keeping the commercial and industrial insulation industry up to date on the latest industry trends and technologies.

Serving Our Members 

NIA represents nearly 300 member companies that serve the commercial and industrial insulation industry. We are committed to developing and maintaining high quality products, services, and resources for members, the industry, and insulation end users.

In July 2024, the Long Range Strategic Planning Committee, which is made up of volunteers from the NIA Board and members of the NIA staff, developed 3 strategic objectives that NIA will focus on for the next 3 years. If you are a member of NIA and would like to volunteer to be a part of accomplishing these objectives, or to find out more about how to get involved, email niainfo@insulation.org.

New Mission Statement

NIA’s mission is to increase the success and professionalism of its insulation industry membership through:

• Strengthening and developing the industry with education, training, and advocacy;
• Promoting and elevating the image and value of the industry;
• Serving as the resource to exchange and communicate industry information; and
• Providing effective industry representation of our membership.

NIA holds 2 major events each year: the Annual Convention in the spring and the Fall Summit in the fall.

NIA communicates with members and the industry through Insulation Outlook^® magazine, the NIA News newsletter, E-News Bulletins, social media, the association website, and other publications.

The Foundation for Mechanical Insulation Education, Training, and Industry Advancement is now a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, which is overseen by a Board of Directors and managed by NIA.  The Foundation’s primary purpose is to develop and implement strategies and recommend processes to advance and expand the commercial and industrial insulation industry.
