Brussels, September 10th, 2013: The European Copper Institute (ECI) launches a new, comprehensive web platform to address multiple stakeholders including copper users, professionals, journalists, students and policy makers. The platform contains the latest information on the uses of copper and its alloys, along with the benefits provided in the main areas of application. It also showcases the efforts of the European copper industry to strengthen the sustainability of its operations and products.
ECI represents the copper industry in Europe and is also part of an international network of industry associations, funded by the copper industry, whose common mission is to defend and grow markets for copper, based on its superior technical performance and contribution to a higher quality of life. This network is unified by a common brand and visual identity - the Copper AllianceTM.

Across Europe, ECI works with a network of ten national associations, some of which have over 80 years’ experience in promoting and providing technical advice on the many uses of copper. “Available in ten different language chapters, the new website will broaden the visibility and strengthen the consistency of copper’s messages to audiences across Europe. Our aim is to provide relevant information, in a transparent and commercially-neutral way, that will help our target audiences make informed decisions,” says John Schonenberger, ECI’s Chief Executive.

While the new website will contain regular updates on products and markets, we encourage our users to interact with us. Provide direct feedback, download our publications, discover a wide Frequently Asked Question database, register to receive our newsletters, share information you find useful and, finally, join the conversation on our social media channels.
