Europe launches autoglass federation

摘要

A variety of groups from different countries have initiated a new international federation to represent the automotive glass industry. National trade associations from the US, Japan and some European countries decided to form the association called the International Automotive Glass Federation (IAGP) in 2007 and it was announced in December. The chairman of the new federation is Freddy Grumstrup Sorensen, CEO of Mobilglas ApS in Denmark and Sweden, who is also a member of various branch committees for the Auto Glass Repair and Replacement (AGRR) industry in the US. "It is high time that our specialized branch prepares a good platform for international co-operation. Our market uses international products in vehicles such as glass and adhesives. Legislation is becoming more of an international issue as well. And in the middle is the automotive glass professional who should no longer be narrowed by national or even continental borders," says Sorensen.
