Due to its outstanding pro-active dedication – inter alia in context of the European chemicals legislation REACh – and numerous specialized publications, the association TEGEWA has gained an excellent reputation within its industry. Member companies appreciate the particular proximity to the TEGEWA management and a network being very active and versatile due to TEGEWA’s contacts with (scientific) institutes, authorities, customers´ and sisters´ associations as well as umbrella organizations in Germany and throughout Europe.

The association TEGEWA represents more than 100 member companies in the fields of surfactants, textile, paper and leather auxiliaries, colorants, cosmetic raw materials, antimicrobial agents, polymeric flocculants and allied products.

The basis for the association’s work is formed significantly by the know-how shared by the members, which is bundled by the TEGEWA management and used for the members’ benefit.

TEGEWA intends to be well prepared for the future and to continue the past decades‘ successful work – adopted to new challenges arising.

For this purpose, the association carried out a strategical project named „TEGEWA 2025“ in order to define ways of creating significant value for all involved parties up to the year 2025. In this project, representatives from member companies, cooperation partners and employees of the management team in Frankfurt discussed how to reach this goal – and thus how to develop within the years to come. Clear statements regarding „Vision“ and „Mission“ of the association TEGEWA had been results of this project.
