Dear Members,
Last week, the EWPA Spring Meeting took place in Brussels, bringing together key industry representatives to discuss the future of our association and the European wood protection sector. For those who could not attend, here are the main highlights:
WEI-IEO is now the European Wood Protection Association (EWPA)
A major milestone was reached with the decision to rename EWPA to the European Wood Protection Association (EWPA). This rebranding reflects our mission more clearly and strengthens our position as the leading voice for wood protection in Europe. To learn more about the background and reasoning behind this change, you can view the presentation from the Spring Meeting here:
