Mission & Goals
The IWCC is the global association for the copper and copper alloy fabricating industry. Members of the association are companies based in the copper value chain producing semi-finished products including but not limited to copper tube, flat rolled products, copper wire rod and brass rod. The association works to run events and networking opportunities, produce statistical information about the industry and represent the views and interests of copper and copper alloy fabricators. In particular we seek to represent the industry with international associations and bodies. These include diverse topics such as chemical and environmental regulations, industrial policies, value chain due diligence and sustainability. The view of manufacturers in the middle of the value chain can often be unique and important in linking policies between the upstream and downstream sectors.
