EuCIA is pleased to welcome the Association for Technical Support and Promotion of Polymer Composites (Spolek pro technickou podporu a propagaci polymerních kompozitů) of the Czech Republic to its network.
The membership agreement was signed in Paris during JEC World 2026, the leading international composites show.
Established in 2016, the Association for Technical Support and Promotion of Polymer Composites serves as a professional platform for manufacturers and distributors of polymer composite materials, equipment, and parts. Its mission is to promote the advantages of polymer composites to industry and the broader public, and to disseminate the latest knowledge emerging from both the research and industrial sectors.
The association’s organisation committee consists of Dr. Ing. Radek Sedláček and Dr. Ing. Zdeněk Padovec of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Czech Technical University (CTU) Prague, and Ing. Marek Ščerba of Saertex.
Radek Sedláček says: “We are excited to become part of the EuCIA network. Joining EuCIA increases the visibility of the Czech composites industry and brings fresh opportunities for collaboration and sharing expertise. We’re also eager to support EuCIA’s work in advancing the circularity of composite materials and representing the industry’s interests within the EU.”
“We are delighted to welcome the Association for Technical Support and Promotion of Polymer Composites to EuCIA,” says Roberto Frassine, President of EuCIA. “JEC World 2026 provided the perfect opportunity to seal our partnership and to introduce our new Czech colleagues to EuCIA’s members and partners. This addition of another national association to our network is a further step in our mission to represent the entire European composites value chain.”
The Association for Technical Support and Promotion of Polymer Composites of the Czech Republic expands EuCIA’s existing network of national composites industry associations and industry-specific sector groups and alliances. Through its members, EuCIA now represents approximately 85% of the European composites market.
