WHERE DO EUROPEAN MASTERBATCHERS AND COMPOUNDERS STAND ON COMPETITIVENESS AND REGULATION SIMPLIFICATION?
Shaping the Future of Masterbatchers & Compounders in Europe
Since 2001, EuMBC – the voice of European masterbatchers and compounders, and a Sector Group of EuPC (European Plastics Converters) – has been actively promoting, protecting, and strengthening the interests of compounders and masterbatchers across the EU, EEA, and Turkey.
At K-Fair 2025, EuMBC invites you to a 30-minute conference on the key challenges and opportunities defining our industry :
-
Market & Competitive Pressures
Explore how European compounders and masterbatchers are navigating a challenging environment shaped by global imports, supply chain shifts, and rising competition. Understand where EU players can maintain an edge and what risks they face. -
Regulatory & Policy Framework
From the EU Chemical Industry Package to the upcoming REACH revision, regulations are redefining how the sector operates. EuMBC highlights the potential impacts on innovation, compliance, and costs — and outlines its advocacy for fair, workable, and effective rules. -
EuMBC’s Role & Advocacy
Discover how EuMBC represents the industry’s voice in Brussels, building bridges between policymakers and businesses to ensure that compounders’ and masterbatchers’ interests are protected, promoted, and strengthened.
