About CEEMET

Overview

CEEMET is the European employers’ organisation representing the interests of the metal, engineering and technology-based industries with a particular focus on social policy and industrial relations issues.

CEEMET was created in 1962 under the name WEM – the Western European Metal Trades Employers’ Organisation, and was in 2004 renamed CEEMET – the Council of European Metal, Engineering and Technology-based Industries.

Our members are national employers’ organisations and federations, representing 200 000 member companies across Europe, the vast majority of which are SMEs, providing some 12.7 million jobs and covering all products within the metal, engineering and technology-based sectors. Together, these companies make up the largest industrial sector in Europe, both in terms of employment levels and added value, and are therefore vital in driving forward and securing Europe’s future prosperity.

Based in Brussels, Belgium, CEEMET is a recognised consultation body and discussion partner of the European Institutions, BusinessEurope, fellow associations from the MET and related industry sectors (ACEA, ASD, CESA, CLEPA, ECEG, EUROFER, FIEC, ORGALIME), European-level trade unions (EMF-FEM) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and International Organisation of Employers (IOE).
