The Faridabad
Industries Association popularly known as the FIA
was started way back in 1952 initially by a group of enterprising
industrialists. In the year 1965-66 the erstwhile Punjab manufacturing
organization was merged with the Faridabad Industries Association to form
a larger organization to represent the small medium and large scale
industries in this area. Over the efflux of time, the Faridabad Industries
Association has become one of the most outspoken and effective
Associations in the Northern Region. Its views are listened to with
respect by one and all authorities and it is entirely because of the
continous support which it gets from its members. |

The FIA members are
contributing nearly 80% of the total turnover and
employment in this industrial complex. |

The FIA is largely a service
oriented organization and it its presence in all facets of Industrial
activities is being actually felt by its members. The FIA is not only
serving the industries but also extends its activities to other areas like
Environment, Sports, Cultural, Rural Education etc. It is the main reason
for its credibility and increased membership over a period of years. |
