EUROPEAN CONGRESS 2025
On 16th and 17th October we gladly welcomed about 100 persons in the nice city of Prague on the occasion of our 2025 European Congress on sandwich panels and cold-formed metal profiles. As usual, the participants enjoyed the networking within our European community of manufacturers, suppliers and service providers and took benefit of the insightful and inspiring information from the various presentations that were given. The hot topic of sustainability was completed by other interesting topics such as the EU digital product passport, the new developments related to the fire behaviour of sandwich panels, the research on blisters on the sandwich panel skin or the application of the AI in the industry.
Stay tuned for future updates so that you don’t miss our next congress in Copenhagen!
