In a groundbreaking move, the JEC Group and the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) have inked a pivotal three-year agreement, setting the stage for an unprecedented collaboration aimed at advancing composite materials in Europe and championing a net-zero future.
This strategic partnership, announced by Eric Pierrejean, CEO of JEC Group, and Roberto Frassine, President of EuCIA, signifies a united front to bolster the European composites industry. Pierrejean expressed confidence that joint efforts and strategies will not only revolutionize the regional sector but also reverberate globally, emphasizing the potential for a collective impact.
The collaboration between JEC and EuCIA promises a host of new services and initiatives strategically designed to support the composites ecosystem. Their shared commitment extends across institutional and industry levels, focusing on creating invaluable networking opportunities, enriching market intelligence, and elevating communication channels to spotlight the diverse applications of composites across industries.
An early fruit of this partnership is the much-anticipated 2023 JEC Composites Sustainability Report, slated for publication this November. This collaborative effort, incorporating insights from composite associations worldwide, aims to spotlight how industries globally are actively reducing their environmental footprint.
Roberto Frassine, President of EuCIA, underscored the milestone nature of this collaboration, emphasizing its role in promoting sustainable growth within the European composites industry. The partnership is expected to catalyze novel activities, introducing composite solutions to a wider audience.
EuCIA’s pivotal role extends to the introduction of innovative initiatives at JEC World 2024, with further details set to be unveiled in December. This partnership represents a significant stride in unlocking the potential of composite materials for a sustainable and innovative future in Europe and beyond. As the global community grapples with the imperative of a net-zero future, this collaboration stands as a beacon of industry collaboration and commitment to environmental stewardship.
