About

in the late 1950s, the first meetings of European producers of vegetable adhesives from five countries took place. In 1967, meetings started to include European producers of chemical adhesives. Finally, in 1972, FEICA (Fédération Européenne des Industries de Colles et Adhésifs) was formally founded. The German adhesives association in Düsseldorf served as the first location of the FEICA secretariat. FEICA moved to Brussels in 2007 in order to be closer to other European associations as well as to the European Commission itself.

Since its inception, FEICA has continued to grow and expand its areas of interest. With the support of its National Association Members  and several Direct Company Members and Affiliated Company Members, FEICA coordinates, represents and advocates the common interests of our industry throughout Europe. A quick overview of our members is available on our 'FEICA in brief' page.

In this regard, FEICA aims to establish a constructive dialogue with legislators in order to act as a reliable partner to resolve issues affecting the European adhesive and sealant industry.
