EUnited connects machinery and equipment companies in one association to improve awareness and understanding among decision-makers and policy actors in the European Union institutions. Equipment suppliers are the mainstay of advanced manufacturing, increasingly recognized as indispensable for the basic every day needs of European citizens.
We speak for companies that design and produce specialist machinery and equipment operated in advanced factories all over the word to produce, to automate and monitor, to transport, to recycle, to power, or for cleaning and maintenance purposes. A vast range of industrial and consumer goods and innumerable processes along complex supply chains (from extraction to re-use) depend on advanced manufacturing equipment, which largely determines performance in terms of productivity, energy and resource utilisation.
EUnited is a European Association that engages with EU policy and decision-makers in their development and optimization of the international regulatory and policy framework for manufacturing. The supervision and regulation of manufacturing has always been a major political challenge. The EU is increasingly called to arbitrate on environmental protection issues and propose and enforce more stringent regulation and practices. Informed decisions are crucial: the manufacturing industry is a major source of European employment and makes an enormous contribution to Europe’s economy and society, so it is essential to foster a positive dialogue between our members, the EU institutions, and partner organisations.
