General Assemblies
In October, we had the pleasure of holding our annual General Assemblies for ESIG, HSPA, OSPA, and OSPA Glycol Ethers.
It was great to discuss topics and progress on many issues amongst the members, agree on the workplans for 2024 and endorse some new chairs.
But also, after the meeting, enjoy a moment together in the Théâtre Royal de Toone, the last standing traditional puppet theatre in Brussels, followed by a common dinner for the members present in Brussels.
Staff News
We say goodbye to Thomas Vanfleteren, our Technical Manager looking after the Glycol Ethers Tox team and taking care of all the work around the exposure scenarios.
We wish him all the best in his new endeavours at Cefic’s Halogens Industry Sector.
