The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA, Brussels, Belgium) has welcomed Tech-Fab Europe (Frankfurt, Germany), the association of European technical textiles producers, as a new member. Tech-Fab Europe expands EuCIA’s existing membership of national composites industry associations and industry-specific sector groups.
Established in 2013, Tech-Fab Europe represents manufacturers of engineered textiles that enable high-performance solutions for diverse markets, including mobility, construction, energy, and industry. Its members account for more than 80% of the glass fiber textiles produced in Europe.
“Technical textiles are used to produce high strength, lightweight, durable products for the transportation, construction, renewable energy, sports and leisure, and many other markets,” explains Agusti Porta, president of Tech-Fab Europe. “Demonstrating how our products, through their various applications, contribute to the European Green Deal objectives is essential. Composites is an important application sector and we look forward to working with the team of experts in EuCIA’s Sustainability Working Group to explore new opportunities for collaboration and communication at a European level.”
Tech-Fab Europe also plans to contribute data on technical fabrics to EuCIA’s Eco Impact Calculator, the online lifecycle assessment (LCA) tool for composite products, in the coming months.
EuCIA welcomed Epoxy Europe as a new member in January 2023.
