Welcome to EPTA – The European Power Tool Association

The EPTA is the only European association solely dedicated to representing the interests
of the manufacturers of electrical tools. This industry produces electrical power tools for both
professionals and DIY (Do it yourself) consumers and generates an annual turnover in 2010
of approximately € 3,1 billion. EPTA member companies, many of which are SMEs, employ
a total staff of some 15,000.

The EPTA represents enterprises whose head offices are both inside and outside the EU including
the USA and Japan. In addition, several national organizations are associate members of EPTA.

All EPTA members are represented in at least one European country either with their head-
quarters or their manufacturing facilities, or they have substantial marketing, distribution
or Research & Development presence there.

EPTA members have committed themselves to contribute to fair competition in Europe,
both from the standpoint of economics and of employment policy. In this spirit,
EPTA represents its members before the relevant institutions in Brussels with one common goal:

Serving the Power Tool Markets!
