The European Alliance for SMC/BMC

The European Alliance for SMC/BMC is an industrial association of European companies and institutions involved in the field and product chain of SMC and BMC.

Through its competence network, the Alliance promotes the advantages of the use of SMC/BMC and the awareness of the material across Europe. In informing the industry on the benefits of technology and material performance, the Alliance focuses the proficient positioning of the material in the market. Bringing technological knowledge to educational institutions and their students in providing technical information is also part of the mission, as well as performing lobby-work at commissions and institutions.

The Alliance organises technical working groups, workshops, seminars or roadshows. Information brochures, press releases and other educational materials are regularly edited.

The network assists in solving technical issues by elaborating technical studies, concepts and solutions for technical items, which are of common interest. Also important is the involvement in procedures and regulations causing effects on the SMC/BMC industry.

The European Alliance for SMC/BMC was established in 1993 and has been growing and gained in importance through the years. Today, the headquarter of the Alliance is within EUCIA in Bruxelles.
