The Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) announced the renewal of its corporate partnership with Exponent, a leader in engineering and scientific consulting.

Exponent is an engineering and scientific consulting firm providing solutions to complex problems. Exponent's multidisciplinary organization of scientists, physicians, engineers, and business consultants brings together more than 90 technical disciplines to address complicated issues facing industry and government today. The firm has been best known for analyzing accidents and failures to determine their causes, but in recent years it has become more active in assisting clients with engineering, human health, and environmental issues associated with new products to help prevent problems in the future.

The company’s expertise in sports equipment safety, digital products, and performance sportswear has served as a resource to SFIA and its member organizations since August of 2013. As a Silver level partner, Exponent will be highlighted and take part in all SFIA Thought Leadership activities throughout the year including the Litigation & Risk Management Summit, Industry Leaders Summit, and SFIA Webinar Series.  

“SFIA is thrilled to continue its partnership with Exponent,” said Tom Cove, SFIA President & CEO. “Our ongoing relationship provides our members with credible and reliable expertise when designing, testing, or evaluating a new product. Exponent’s experience in third party design analysis, product testing, and regulatory support serves as an incredible asset to both the association and our members” added Cove.
