In 2009 the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) will celebrate 20-years of service to its member organisations, companies and individual members.

Originally formed in 1989, the EPMA’s main purpose and mission remains the promotion of using the Powder Metallurgy manufacturing process over other competing manufacturing processes. Since its conception, the EPMA has worked to promote the interests of EPMA Members and the entire European Powder Metal Industry to an international audience.

The EPMA plans to celebrate this milestone with a special EPMA Newsletter, a retrospective view of the last 20 years of the EPMA.

As part of the year long celebration a special 20th birthday party is planned to take place at the Euro PM2009 Congress & Exhibition being held in Copenhagen, Denmark from 12 – 14 October to thank its members for their support during the period. Also, a special EPMA logo has been created to help promote this special occasion and will be available in January 2009.
