About

On 27 May 2025 Cefic decided, in accordance with its Statutes and internal rules, to withdraw the European Melamine Producers Association (“EMPA”) from the list of associations recognized as Sector Groups of Cefic, due to the falling number of Members affiliated to EMPA, and therefore not fulfilling the Cefic’s minimum requirements on Sector Group composition.

The former Members of EMPA remain active Members of Cefic, engaging in different activities and structures. Cefic will support the melamine producing Members with the transfer of EMPA’s activities.

VISION

Melamine is recognized as enabler of sustainable solutions and increased durability of products in key applications for society.

MISSION

We communicate to society about the benefits of melamine in the daily life. We promote the exchange of information between value chain and consumers on the safe and compliant use of melamine.

PURPOSE

We believe in the need to bring clarity on the safe use of melamine and provide the value chain with a contact point to receive reliable information.
