Dear EPCA members,

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support and engagement throughout 2022. Another year filled with both challenges and opportunities for the petrochemical sector. The Board had successful meetings in November and February, during which we agreed on our plans for 2023:

Everyone at EPCA is fully committed to providing our members with the best possible service. We have given careful consideration to how we can foster a sense of belonging, shared identity, and common purpose that will motivate us all to strive for excellence and drive the petrochemical industry forward. As such, every effort will be made to host a successful 57th EPCA Annual Meeting in Vienna. Over three days, from Tuesday to Thursday, 26-28 September, under the theme of ‘Collaboration for Impact’.

Additionally, Johann Lenhart's appointment as CEO marks a new era for EPCA! We look forward to working with him as we strive for excellence in all areas of our operations. We are confident that under his leadership, EPCA will continue to make a lasting impact on our industry and facilitate meaningful collaborations among our member companies and beyond.

This last week of March has been extremely busy as the EPCA team settled into our new digs in the heart of CEFIC's building, making it easier than ever to connect with us.

As of 1 April 2023, you'll find us at our new address:

Rue Belliard 40, 1040 Brussels, Belgium.

Please take a moment to update your records with our new address and send any future communications our way.

In spring 2023, our members’ Official Representatives will have the opportunity to join the EPCA Ordinary General Meeting, as a first digital connection point of the year. The 2023 OGM will be held on Tuesday 30 May 2023 (10:00-12:00 CEST). Hold the date!

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at the 57th EPCA Annual Meeting in Vienna.

Enjoy reading this Newsletter.

All the best,

Hartwig Michels
President - The European Petrochemical Association (EPCA)
