Members can participate in special interest groups that foster focused collaboration on sector-specific or thematic topics. These groups provide an opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, share experiences, and develop expertise in specific areas of machinery and equipment manufacturing. Insights and proposals generated within the groups are also communicated to the association’s board and contribute to policy-making. Participation is voluntary and flexible, yet it offers valuable contacts, knowledge, and opportunities for cooperation that enhance both individual companies and the wider industry network.
