The IWCC Copper Tube Committee met in Vienna last week. Topics covered in the meeting included:
- An update from Flohic Morin, Digital Director of Hopscotch Europe, on the ‘Copper for Sustainable Plumbing’ campaign. Members were shown a comprehensive presentation on the performance of the campaign thus far across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, and a timeline for the next few months of the campaign. This developed into a wider discussion about the continuation of the campaign following its initial nine month testing phase, and how the campaign will look to engage with other associations and educational bodies to build awareness and engagement. Further information about the campaign can be found on our website under the ‘Latest Updates’ section.
- Members were then shows a comprehensive statistical presentation prepared by the IWCC team, outlining copper tube production and demand across all major European and global markets, with breakdowns of water tube and industrial tube demand.
- Finally, members heard an interesting and insightful update on the European Net Zero Industries Act and a presentation on the threat of heat pump substitution from Robert Pinter, ICA Europe.
We would like to thank both Flohic Morin and Robert Pinter for their presentations.
The meeting also included a dinner at Plachutta’s Gasthaus zur Oper, a local Austrian restaurant. This gave members the chance to catch up and network with friends across the industry. We would like to thank everyone who attended this event and look forward to the Autumn meeting. The date and place of the next meeting will be finalised nearer the time.
