Since its creation in March 2000, Fediyma has already started to work and achieve important parts of its mission:
FEDIYMA , the European Federation of DIY and Gardening Manufacturers, was created in March 2000. Its founding members are BHETA in the UK , Germany ’s BAU+DIY and Unibal of France. FEBIN in Belgium, Danish Building Materials Federation in Denmark and AFEB in Spain have also joined FEDIYMA.
Why FEDIYMA?
With the DIY – including the gardening sector – business becoming increasingly global, it is important that European manufacturers and suppliers have access to the strength and support of a European federation.
Given the formation of NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement) and the close co-operation that exists between the ASEAN countries, the Single European Market is assuming an ever more prominent position in global trade. The euro reinforced the status of Europe as a trading block.
The formation of a European Federation of Manufacturers reflects the growing international status of this region and provides its member companies with the competitive advantage that comes from being part of both a national association and a European federation.
