SKZ – The Plastics Center
The SKZ is supported by FSKZ e.V., the Association for the Promotion of the Plastics Centre. Members include successful companies in the plastics industry and related sectors. Membership in the association means the opportunity to fight for top positions in the team - to network, to benefit from the excellent contacts in terms of content and to be able to represent plastics-specific interests more sustainably with a successful team.
The Association for the Promotion of the Plastics Centre is the umbrella organisation of the SKZ. It was founded in 1961 as a non-profit association and aims to promote research and development as well as education and training. The FSC has steering and control units, so-called committees, which monitor and control the strategies and activities of the association and advise the management and institute management. The tasks of the committees and their honorary members are oriented towards the welfare of the FSC and its societies.
The work of the committees is divided into the following areas:
Board of Directors | Board of Trustees | Advisory Board
