Who are our colleagues?
1. Fevia
Since 2015, FGBB has been collaborating with the FEVIA team within a system of integrated membership and management in order to maximise synergy and efficiency for the member companies. Whereas FGBB focuses on vertical sector-specific issues, Fevia concentrates on horizontal cross-sectoral issues such as social affairs, environment, competitiveness... This model allows us to work cost-efficiently and to offer companies a total service.
2. AIBI
Our federation FGBB has an important voice in the European association for large and industrial bakeries, namely AIBI, the International Association of Plant Bakeries, where we follow up on European issues and legislation related to the sector, which are then reflected in our national legislation and on the level of our internal market.
