The Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association (SEFA) was organized in 1988 to meet the needs of an important industry of lab designers and manufacturers of laboratory furniture. A company whose work is principally in this industry can be eligible for membership. SEFA's members work closely with laboratory owners, architects contractors and others to advance the goal of creating a safe lab environment. SEFA currently has 150 corporate members located throughout the world. SEFA's essential purpose is to promote the use of "Lab Grade" Furniture and Equipment. SEFA takes a leadership role in advancing the cause of good laboratory planning. SEFA's member-directed package of services reflects the importance attached to cost-effective construction and delivery, lab space use, safety, productivity and environmental issues. The association operates with a professional management staff and a member-elected Board of Directors. In addition, SEFA has organized an impressive array of Committees to meet the needs of the association's members and to advance the goals of the organization.
