Overview of the Construction Products Industry in France and AIMCC Priorities

The construction products sector in France represents around €5 billion, with approximately 7,000 manufacturers. The AIMCC, founded in 1963, comprises about 100 members from professional organizations across various sectors, focused on enhancing the industry's standards and practices. Key activities include managing 27 working groups and addressing priorities such as construction product directives, environmental regulations, energy efficiency, and acoustic standards. With a small permanent staff and extensive engagement through mailing lists and meetings, AIMCC aims to facilitate collaboration within the industry.
