MEMBERS' DIRECTORY
201 3-201 4
2013-2014
 INTRODUCTION
We have compiled this members’ directory as our contact
database is a valuable resource that can stimulate exchanges
and strengthen our industry’s network. One of our priorities as
an association is to encourage a greater coordination of all EU
construction-related initiatives. We believe that we will only
be able to achieve this as an industry if we reach consensus
and create a unified voice that promotes ideas and dialogue
with the European Institutions and societal stakeholders. This
directory is made with this objective in mind.

Through the details and information provided by our

members it is possible to see how wide our scope is, working
with national associations and a wide range of sectors that
represent SMEs to world-leading companies spread across the
whole of Europe.

The directory is broken up into two main sections: members

and associate members. The directory starts with members
with their name in a green band, which then changes to blue
for associate members. You will find general information
about each association, such as presidency, location and their
objectives as well as their contacts details. Many profiles have
facts about the association’s industry or their representation
as well.
 ABOUT US
Construction Products Europe is the association that
represents European construction manufacturers.

Construction Products Europe has three main aims:

To promote the free movement of construction
products in the internal market;

To establish the EU construction (product)

industry as a crucial industrial sector able to meet
sustainability and competitiveness challenges;

To support the EU Institutions in the development

of stable and reliable construction-related
strategies, legislation and financial framework
through the supply of expertise and vision.
