EGGA - Galvanizing Europe held its committee sessions and Board of Directors meeting in Copenhagen on 6 and 7 November 2024. Our Technical & Research Committee brings together experts from the National Associations to manage our extensive participation in CEN and ISO standards. The Marketing Committee is focused on actions to ensure the contribution of galvanizing to the durability and sustainability of steel structures are well-documented and communicated. The evolution of environmental permitting of galvanizing plants under the new BAT Conclusions and IED 2.0 are the main focus of the Environmental and Safety Committee. Along with our various working groups, these committees ensure that EGGA activities meet the ever-changing demands of Europe’s galvanizing industry.

The EGGA Board of Directors recognised the outstanding contribution of Carola Hermoso (ATEG - Asociación Técnica Española de Galvanización, Spain) who will be stepping down as Chair of the Environmental and Safety Committee, as she moves to a new position at the Spanish steel producers association, Unión de Empresas Siderúrgicas (UNESID), at the end of this year. Carola was awarded the prestigious ‘EGGA Pin’ by EGGA President, Norbert Beljaars during the Board meeting.
