The strategy of our trade association sets thematic priorities and is developed in close consultation with the member companies. Our aim is to strengthen the industry, support companies in their specific concerns and inform customers in order to increase sales potential. Our focus is on regulation, standardisation and technology as well as press and public relations, marketing and market information. We also actively promote the exchange of experience between our members, including through events such as workshops and information days.
