International appointment
MITO Chief Executive Janet Lane has been appointed Executive Director of the Outdoor Fabric Products Association of New Zealand (OFPANZ). OFPANZ has signed a management contract with the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI). The announcement was made at the 2009 IFAI Expo held in San Diego recently.
IFAI’s aim is to represent the global interests of those in the specialty fabrics industry. It currently comprises 2,100 member companies in 58 countries and is based in Minnesota, USA. OFPANZ became an IFAI country sector late last year.
In addition to two other country sectors – Canada and Japan – IFAI has 12 niche, end market divisions, including automotive, marine, awning, lightweight structures, safety, medical and protective products.
MITO will work closely with OFPANZ and IFAI to ensure IFAI NZ’s strategic direction reflects their joint goals and objectives and that the OFPANZ Executive is well supported to deliver on their annual business plan.
