Jean-Pierre De Grève, Executive Director ECVM (European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers)


“AgPU was founded in 1988 and is very much complementary to ECVM, which was founded at the same time, with shared objectives.  Over the past 20 years both organisations have worked continuously in partnership to defend and promote PVC. As the longest established and largest market in Europe for PVC products, Germany has played a vital role in the setting up of the Vinyl 2010 voluntary commitment for the sustainable development of the industry since 2000 and AgPU continues to be a key player in the Europe-wide PVC Network established by ECVM.  In our joint 20th anniversary year, we have been delighted to be able to strengthen our partnership further with a shared publishing initiative where ECVM’s own English language magazine PVC Today is now sharing style and content with AgPU’s Starke Seiten.”
