EIGA to capitalise on raised visibility

The European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) finds itself in a post-pandemic sweet spot for promoting its members’ interests and relaying key safety messaging across the growing industrial gases sector and public at large.

Speaking exclusively to gasworld’s 1895 on its landmark 50th episode, entitled ‘European industrial gases: innovation, safety and regulation’, Philippe Cornille, General Secretary at EIGA, said public affairs, product policy and standardisation are its three key focus areas in 2025.

Reflecting on a turbulent political year in Europe, Cornille said the industry remains “challenged” but on the positive side, the recent EIGA Winter Summit was well attended and levels of interaction among delegates encouraging.

“We have beefed up our advocacy work,” he said. “There is a need for the outside world to see our work – we took our first steps in 2024 and this will continue in 2025.”
