Join Afera's Steering Committee
Afera’s recent General Assembly agreed to the restructuring of the SC from a regional- to a member-class representational composition framework in order to reflect the adhesive tape value chain most accurately. This includes 5 active members (adhesive tape manufacturers with adhesive coating facilities in Europe), 2 associated members (raw material, machine and packaging suppliers), and 1 converter member (specialty non-graphic die cutter).

SC members represent Afera’s membership by defining the Association’s mission, goals and strategies, which are in the best interest of the adhesive tape value chain. Attending two meetings a year, SC members collaborate with the Technical and Marketing Committees in driving Afera’s working programme and objectives. They also control the Association’s finances. The positions entail attending two meetings a year over a 3-year term.
