Dear Reader,
Despite economic upswings and downturns, we can look back on steady growth of the Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container
(FIBC) market in Europe. Indeed we look forward to a continuation of this trend thanks to the ingenuity and versatility of
FIBC as a product. As the number of industries employing FIBC increases, the variety of solutions to address the diverse
needs has grown. It is part of EFIBCA’s mission as the trade association of the FIBC industry in Europe to aid users in making
informed decisions and to promote the safe use of FIBC, whatever the application.
EFIBCA has a long history of championing the customer requirement for qualified information. Today, EFIBCA and
its Members aim to reach the end user though practical tools such as the EFIBCA booklet “Questions and Answers
Concerning the Use of Flexible Bulk Containers (FIBC), which covers frequently asked questions. Seeing the need for a
detailed handbook, EFIBCA has recently published the “FIBC User Guide: Guide for the Safe Use of Flexible Intermediate
Bulk Containers,” which was written together with EFIBCA Members and subject matter experts. It provides users with all
must-to-know information about FIBC like construction types, handling and disposal as well as specific knowledge e.g. on
FIBCs for foodstuff or dangerous goods.
EFIBCA and its Members are aware that customers expect not only high quality products and services from suppliers, but
also corporate environmental and ethical management. The EFIBCA-Q Quality Pledge and the EFIBCA Code of Conduct are
two corresponding programmes developed by EFIBCA for its members to promote these topics of growing importance
for doing business in Europe.
These and a range of other activities shown on the next pages demonstrate how EFIBCA is taking an active lead in the
industry. EFIBCA is hereby building trust and a reputation to the benefit of EFIBCA’s member companies, FIBC users and
the FIBC industry as a whole.
Thanks to all members for the continued support provided to EFIBCA. We welcome further FIBC manufacturers and
distributors to join us and speak with one voice in representing the interests of the FIBC industry in Europe.
Sincerely yours,
