ISPA welcomes nearly 80 new members

ISPA logoThe International Sleep Products Association says membership in the organization is strong and growing, with nearly 80 new members joining the mattress industry trade group in 2012. New members—including startups, longtime mattress producers, component suppliers and ISPA’s newest category, manufacturers of top-of-bed accessories—reflect the industry’s diversity.

Established in 1915, ISPA is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the growth, profitability and stature of the mattress industry. It represents nearly 700 mattress manufacturers and suppliers throughout the world. The association provides a wide array of services that benefit its membership, including exclusive industry statistics, advocacy support, the ISPA EXPO trade show, safety research through its Sleep Products Safety Council, consumer research and education through its Better Sleep Council and more.

“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 Gerry Borreggine, ISPA chairman and president and chief executive officer of mattress licensing group Therapedic International in Princeton, N.J.

Conor Stapleton, head of marketing for Dublin, Ireland-based sleep accessories producer Gabriel Scientific and its flagship SleepAngel brand, echoed those comments, “SleepAngel is a startup 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. 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 be a long and caring one.”

ISPA President Ryan Trainer said the association values its members—new and old. “We would not be who we are today without the strong and continued support of our members,” Trainer said. “ISPA is deeply engaged today in addressing several important industrywide 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 ISPA.”
