CARY, N.C. — November 9, 2026 — INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, and its publishing arm INDA Media are excited to announce that International Fiber Journal (IFJ) will become Fibers&Nonwovens with Issue 1, 2027. The new name reflects the magazine’s longstanding focus on fiber innovation and its coverage of the materials, technologies and markets shaping the global nonwovens industry.
Under its new name, the magazine will continue to deliver the industry reporting, market insights and technical perspectives that IFJ readers rely on.
“Fibers, materials science, nonwovens and engineered materials have long been part of the same story for our readers,” said Rachael Davis, publisher and chief content officer, INDA Media. “An advance in fiber technology can change how a nonwoven is made, how it performs and where it can be used. Our job is to follow those connections and help readers understand what new developments mean for their work. The name Fibers&Nonwovens makes that editorial focus clear while carrying forward the technical reporting and industry perspectives readers have come to expect from International Fiber Journal.”
INDA acquired International Fiber Journal and International Filtration News in October 2018. At the time, IFJ covered man-made fibers, technical textiles and nonwovens, connecting producers of engineered materials and machinery with fiber and yarn users in more than 90 countries.
Current subscribers will continue to receive the new magazine without interruption. For subscription information, please email circulation@inda.org.
The 2027 Media Kit is now available. For editorial inquiries, please reach out to Rachael Davis at rdavis@inda.org. For advertising information, please reach out to Vickie Smead at vsmead@inda.org. The magazine’s new website will launch in January.
