To be eligible to apply to a FEPA membership, a company must have an abrasive or an abrasive-related production plant in Europe.

Categories of Membership

Direct Members

Abrasive Manufacturers with a plant in a European Country with or without an abrasive national association with a European sales turnover of over 30 million euros.

Direct Members play an important role in FEPA strategic evolution with seven (7) seats on the Management Committee, the decision-making body of the Federation. With a larger pool of experts, they have traditionally formed the core of FEPA technical expertise on standardization.

Individual Members

Abrasive Manufacturers with a plant in a European Country with or without an abrasive national association and less than 30 million euros in European sales turnover.

Individual Members are crucial to maintain FEPA’s balance between high-level, long-term work and the reality of the market on a technical, social and economic level. A considerable force within FEPA membership, the European abrasive industry is strengthened by the participation of these small and medium companies in the Federation’s activities.

Associated Members
