The International Sleep Products Association welcomed nearly 80 new members in 2012.
Those included start-up companies, veteran mattress producers, component suppliers, and ISPAs newest membership category, manufacturers of top-of-bed accessories.
We at Boyd Specialty Sleep Products see the value in belonging to a uniting front like ISPA, said new ISPA member and Boyd Specialty Sleep Products President Denny Boyd. We look forward to actively participating in ISPA and helping advance the interests of this industry."
In addition to being a part of a worthwhile professional community, we work collectively as a united group, which exponentially increases our chances of success, said ISPA Chair Gerry Borreggine.
New member Conor Stapelton of Gabriel Scientific and SleepAngel(http://www.sleepangelworld.com) noted ISPA's work in supporting the industry with resources and work to represent producers in Washington.
SleepAngel is a start-up business aiming to get big quickly. At this point in our business life cycle, we depend upon the network, resources and lobbying of an umbrella organization to advance our own interests," he said. "ISPA helped us to expand our market reach and influence stakeholders in our marketplace that otherwise would not have been available to us. We hope our association will continue to be a long and caring one."
We would not be who we are today without the strong and continued support of our members, noted ISPA President Ryan Trainer. ISPA is deeply engaged today in addressing several important industry-wide challenges and opportunities. Now more than ever it is important for this industry to speak and act with a united voice. We look forward to working with these new member companies and welcome their input and contributions to ISPAs programs.
