"This year's new Associate Members represent some of the most forward-thinking companies in construction materials, fire protection, and application equipment," said EIMA President Jose Berlingeri of Sto Corp. "Their decision to join EIMA reflects growing momentum across the EIFS industry as architects, builders, and regulators continue to embrace high-performance, sustainable wall systems."

BASF is equally optimistic. "As EIFS continues to prove itself as a superior wall cladding system, BASF is excited to bring its innovations in insulation to the table," said Luis Espada, Neopor Insulation Business Manager. "We see EIMA as a key platform for advancing sustainability and performance in the built environment."

National Gypsum, one of the world's leading drywall and building products manufacturers, sees its return to EIMA as a strategic move to align with EIFS growth. "Our mission is to support energy-efficient and resilient building envelopes," said Warren Barber, Product/Sales Manager. "Partnering with EIMA helps us strengthen that commitment and collaborate with the leaders shaping the future of EIFS."

Quikspray, Inc., known for manufacturing application equipment for plaster, stucco, and specialty coatings, brings a unique focus on jobsite efficiency. "We're excited to be part of a community that values both innovation and craftsmanship," said Leah Barker, Owner. "As EIFS demand grows, we're committed to supporting applicators with tools that increase speed and quality."

Rokamat, a German-based manufacturer of innovative, lightweight wall grinding and finishing tools, brings a global perspective to EIMA's expanding membership. With decades of experience in developing ergonomic solutions for interior and exterior wall applications, Rokamat's durable equipment is designed to improve precision and reduce labor strain. "We see great potential for EIFS in North America and are excited to support applicators with tools that enhance efficiency and surface quality," said Rolf Kammerer, CEO of Rokamat US.
