BIBM (from the French acronym "Bureau International du Béton Manufacturé") is the European Federation of the Precast Concrete Industry.
The association was founded in Brussels, Belgium, on 15th October 1954 following the 1st International Congress of the Precast Concrete Industry.
BIBM represents and defends the interests of the precast concrete industry at the European level. It works for:
- the development of supportive market and economic conditions for all stakeholders;
- an improved accessibility to natural and recycled raw materials;
- the promotion of a dynamic and locally developed industry;
- the improvement of market conditions by contributing to the drafting of regulations, standards and technical documents.
BIBM full members are the national precast concrete industry associations from EU and EFTA countries. To find out more about membership, visit the "Members" section.
The structure of BIBM is based on the cooperation between BIBM General Assembly, BIBM Board, BIBM Secretariat and the work performed by the three permanent commissions and/or ad hoc product groups that are composed of experts coming from the industry and from the national federations.
