DLI Welcomes Members of Newly-Formed Heartland Fabricare Association

The Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI) is thrilled to welcome members of the newly formed Heartland Fabricare Association (HFA) following the merger of the Illinois Professional Drycleaners Association, Mid-West Drycleaning & Laundry Association, and the Wisconsin Fabricare Association (WFI), along with cleaners from Minnesota, into a single, unified organization. This merger strengthens DLI’s commitment to serving members with greater resources, enhanced educational opportunities, and a more cohesive industry network.

Jon Meijer, DLI’s Director of Membership, highlighted the value the merger brings to members: “This is a win-win for everyone. HFA will deliver more educational opportunities, increased legislative and regulatory advocacy, and improved communication to better serve our members.”

Tim Day of Classic Cleaners in Indianapolis said, “This has been a long time coming. By creating one large group, the new Heartland Fabricare Association (HFA) will provide expanded educational opportunities, host meet-and-greets, and organize other valuable events in your area.”

HFA Executive Director Sue said, “With the industry evolving, consolidating our resources allows us to eliminate duplication of efforts and offer more robust educational programs throughout the region.”

As part of this transition, all members of the former individual associations are now part of the Heartland Fabricare Association, as well as the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI).

DLI looks forward to growing together and providing enhanced benefits, support, and resources to all members. Questions or requests for additional information may be , please don’t hesitate to contact me at 800-638-2627.
