One Voice for the Industry

Welcome to Eurobitume, the European Association of Bitumen Producers. We are the voice of the bitumen industry in Europe. We are not just active at a European level, but at a local level too. Following successful restructuring, the National bitumen associations in Benelux, France, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom have joined together with Eurobitume in Brussels to present local and international initiatives together, under one banner. It’s a huge step forwards for the industry, allowing us to communicate directly and powerfully with all players in the bitumen industry and beyond.

Our activities include:

Raising awareness of the benefits of bitumen to policy makers and the general public.
Working with industry and regulatory bodies to further the development of specifications and test methods for bitumen.
Promoting long-term planning, asset management and structured infrastructure maintenance programs.
Working with our members across Europe to promote development in the bitumen industry.
