AESF/NASF International Branch

The NASF International branch is a disparate group of "Platers" from the five continents outside North America. The aim of the Branch is to promote within the International community the aims and aspirations of the NASF as detailed below and at the same time to recognize the "Global" plating community and their aims and aspirations.

About NASF

The National Association for Surface Finishing (NASF) is a 501 (c)(6) trade association whose mission is to promote the advancement of the North American surface finishing industry globally. NASF was created as a means to better serve the needs of the surface finishing industry by “reorganizing” and bringing together the members of the American Electroplaters and Surface Finishers Society (AESF), the Metal Finishing Suppliers Association (MFSA) and the National Association of Metal Finishers (NAMF).
