Overview

Mission

ISD is the professional network for the world-class sealing technology Distributors and Manufacturers, dedicated to significantly improving member performance by sharing best practices, ideas, technology and knowledge in a social and interactive environment.

What it reported doing in 2025

The association creates a forum for fluid sealing distributors and manufacturers to interact and share information affecting the industry. An annual convention and regional seminars provide training, workshops, table top exhibits and business meetings for members in attendance. A monthly newsletter provides articles, editorials and updates on organization activities. The association provides education opportunities for members employees through sale of industry related books, surveys and statistical studies and by joint venturing with other trade associations to offer seminars.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
