EUnited is the voice of machinery and equipment suppliers in Europe.

We speak for the companies which make up the core of Europe’s advanced manufacturing capability.

Our members design and develop specialist technology, systems and products which are used in our factories and our communities all over the world.

We are Europe’s only direct company membership association and our sectors include Cleaning, Municipal Equipment, Robotics and Vehicle Cleaning.

EUnited connects machinery and equipment companies in one association to improve awareness and understanding among decision-makers and policy actors in the European Union institutions.

Equipment suppliers are the mainstay of advanced manufacturing, increasingly recognized as indispensable for basic needs from basic nutrition and other human needs such as employment.

The supervision and regulation of manufacturing has always been a major political challenge.

Today policy makers are contending with technological complex global supply chains and a hardening competitive context.

The European Union has an important role in developing and optimizing the international regulatory and policy framework for manufacturing.

The EU is increasingly called to arbitrate on environmental protection issues and propose proper regulation and practices.

Informed decisions are crucial: manufacturing can be seen as a source of pollution, the cause of inequality or the principal menace to earth’s sustainability, but the same manufacturing industry is biggest employer, and produces pollution abatement as well as waste to energy solutions.
