Company Background / History
GlassFibreEurope, with the APFE acronym for Association des Producteurs de Fibres de Verre Européens, was founded in 1987 under Belgian law and as non-profit international trade association based in Brussels. It succeeded to a "group" that was part of CIRFS, the Comité International de la Rayonne et des Fibres Synthétiques in Paris, which was created earlier as the interest group of producers and processors of man-made fibres, as opposed to processors of natural fibres.
GlassFibreEurope decided to set up an independent branch organisation with a close link or membership with CPIV, Comité Permanent des Industries du Verre Européennes, as CIRFS representativeness progressively focused on textiles and textile industry sectors in Western Europe.
