On Nov. 8, JEC Group (Paris France) and the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA, Brussels, Belgium) signed a 3-year agreement to join forces in Europe to further promote the benefits of composite materials and their role in realizing a net-zero future.
This partnership strengthens the existing collaboration between the two organizations and will strategically support the composites ecosystem with new services and initiatives. JEC and EuCIA have committed to work at institutional and industry level to create networking, market intelligence, communications and other activities in Europe to promote the applications of composites across all industries.
“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with JEC Group,” Roberto Frassine, president of EuCIA, notes. “This cooperation is an important milestone in raising awareness of EuCIA’s initiatives to support the sustainable growth of the European composites industry, and will enable new activities to promote composites solutions to an even wider audience.”
Part of the partnership will be the co-production of the 2023 JEC Composites Sustainability Report, scheduled for publication in November. JEC and EuCIA collaborated with composites associations around the world to highlight how the industries in their regions are working to reduce their environmental impacts and those of their customers.
EuCIA will also support JEC Group with the introduction of new initiatives at JEC World 2024. More details will be announced in December.
