Our Tasks & Aims
Deutsche Bauchemie represents the interests of manufacturers of construction chemical products based in Germany. The association supports its member companies in all matters of competence as defined by the industry’s framework. To keep pace with new developments, Deutsche Bauchemie operates within a close-knit network of German and European contacts. Relevant topics are discussed with designated experts from member companies in ca. 40 association committees, and association positions are prepared jointly. Common positions are contributed to ongoing discussion and regulatory processes through the extensive contacts of Deutsche Bauchemie.
The activities of Deutsche Bauchemie pursue the goal that member companies in Germany can manufacture and market their products in an attractive business environment. Sustainable and resource-conserving production as well as environmentally friendly products that are safe in terms of health are promoted and constantly further developed.
