Mission & Interests
Goals: Founded in 1961, Eurogypsum is a European federation of national associations of producers of gypsum products (i.e. plaster and plasterboard), based in Brussels and registered in Belgium as an AISBL (International Non-Profit Association). Its role is to promote the interests of the European gypsum industry and ensure that there is awareness at a European level of the contribution gypsum products and our industry make to society in general and to the built environment in particular.
The European gypsum sector is one of the few fully integrated industries within the construction products field. With a turnover of EUR 7 billion, the European gypsum and anhydrite industry operates some 101 factories and 160 quarries; it generates employment directly to 16,000 persons. It manufactures 1.7 billion m² plasterboards and 8.2 million tonnes of plaster and other gypsum products every year.
