In view of the increasing integration of the valve market in Europe and stricter legal requirements, VDMA Armaturen is striving for more intensive networking and coordinated representation of interests at European level.
In cooperation with European partner associations, the valve industry wants to meet future challenges together. Through its membership of the European valve association CEIR - Taps and Valves Europe, VDMA Valves is strengthening its presence and influence in Brussels and promoting Europe-wide cooperation.
The increasing relevance of European regulations makes a coordinated representation of interests necessary. “Joining the CEIR is an important step for us,” explains Dr. Laura Dorfer, Managing Director of the VDMA Valves Association. “Together with the European valve industry, we want to overcome regulatory challenges in the future, create synergies and tackle important issues such as the Drinking Water Directive, sustainability, dealing with PFAS and strengthening our industry in international competition. In this way, we are actively helping to secure the future of the valve industry in Europe.”
“With VDMA Valves as a strong industry association at our side, we are united again in our old strength and are gaining weight in Europe,” explains Pascal Vinzio, President of the European valves association CEIR - Taps and Valves Europe. “At a time when the industry is facing more and more challenges, our united voice will strengthen the long-term success of the industry in Europe.”
“The challenges we are currently facing can no longer be solved at national level alone. Only together can we develop a sustainable and future-oriented strategy that benefits our members and the entire industry,” emphasizes Dr. Laura Dorfer.
