"This is very good news for CEIR", says Bulent Haciraifoglu, CEIR President. "CEIR is a truly European association that has been representing the European taps and valves industry for years. CEIR members have devoted a great deal of time and energy working for their association and membership of Orgalime is recognition of their hard work. CEIR membership will herald the start of intensive cooperation with Orgalime members. CEIR members will benefit as CEIR can use the Orgalime network to promote the interests of the taps and valves industry."
