Why is such an association needed?
EAPA’s Mission Objectives and Activities;
Over 90% of the total road network has an asphalt surface. There are over 4,000 production sites in Europe and over 10,000 companies are involved in production and/or laying of asphalt. 90% of the companies can be classified as Small and Medium sized Enterprises. In order to make the voice of the industry heard at the European level, an active and influential European Association is needed.
Since 1973 EAPA has been building its strong reputation as the voice of the European asphalt paving industry and supporting its members to achieve their objectives.
