ORGANISATION
Divisions
Separate Divisions have been established to focus on specific product areas . These Divisions initiate separate action programmes, according to their own particular requirements and priorities. It is anticipated that additional Divisions will be formed in due course, reflecting the growing membership and business interests of the Association.
Working Groups
In parallel, Working Groups have been established to implement action programmes which are of common interest to more than one Division across the membership.
Task Forces
Task Forces are formed within individual Divisions to carry out specific tasks or manage projects. Often these Task Forces operate in cooperation with other interested bodies such as Research Centres or sister Trade Organisations.
Executive Committee
This is the management board of the ESA, carrying out executive functions on behalf of the membership. The Executive Committee is composed of Company presidents, directors and senior managers, elected from across the membership. The composition of the Executive Committee reflects deliberately both the breadth of European culture and also the width of sealing technology of the membership. Each Executive Committee Member stands normally for a 3 year term of office. The current Executive is listed below.
Where Committee positions are due for re-election, suitably qualified members are invited to apply, using the form on the “Recruitment of ESA Positions” page in the Members Area of the Knowledgebase. Please note that you must be logged-in as an ESA member to access the page and apply. All applications are treated in the strictest confidence.
