In the mid-1940's, the Cleansing Plant Owners of Massachusetts (CPO) was formed by a group of greater Boston drycleaners who saw the need for unifying the industry by association.  This group of dedicated drycleaners oversaw the growth of the association, and realized first hand all the benefits membership can bring.  In 1973, leaders from CPO began meeting with key drycleaners from the surrounding states with an eye to unifying the entire region.  In 1975, the New England Fabricare Association was formed.  As the association continued to grow and expand, it soon expanded to include New York and New Jersey and became the North East Fabricare Association.

For the last 35 years, NEFA has been the premier association in the territory.  Providing its members with the most up-to-date information, legislative representation, and personal services they need to continue to prosper. 

NEFA is a volunteer driven association, headed up by a very active Board of Directors.  Peter Blake, a 20-year NEFA employee is in charge or the day-to-day operation of the Association, but the Board of Directors are the true leaders.
