Eurobitume (European Bitumen Association aisbl) is registered in Belgium and based in Brussels. It was established as an international association in 1969, to provide a forum for bitumen producers to share and develop technical and scientific information, in the interests of continually enhancing the industry’s occupational health and safety standards, as well as technical progress.

The association’s mission is to promote the efficient, effective and safe use of refined bitumen in road, industrial and building applications throughout Europe. Eurobitume aims to sustain a clear and positive technical image of the European bitumen industry; acting as its voice and acknowledged focal point.

They produce relevant data for regulators, along with expert advice and practical guidelines to inform best practice throughout the European bitumen industry.
