National Cement Silo Association, Chicago, IL December, 1917

THE PURPOSE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SILO ASSOCIATION IS TO PROMOTE TOWER SILOS AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC

The Concrete Tower Silo first made its appearance in 1893 and throughout its history, structural engineering and research of one kind or another has been a never ending process.  Our mission is to maintain a line of communication with the International Silo Association (ISA) members, dairy organizations, agricultural media sources, governmental agencies, agricultural departments and universities, and all others that affect the silo industry.

The goals of the ISA have remained unchanged throughout the Association’s history.
