CEEMET represents the social policy interests of employers’ associations and federations in the metal,
engineering and technology-based industries in
20 countries of which 18 are in Europe
and is developing its network of contacts with employers’ organisations in the
new and candidate EU member states.
The CEEMET membership largely covers the entire spectrum of metal industries, including fabricated
metal goods, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics industry, transport industry
(automotive, ships and aircraft) and instrument engineering.

Some European countries do not have specific metal industry associations. CEEMET has therefore instead
established contacts with national employers' organisations in Ireland (IBEC) and in Luxembourg (FEDIL), which are
interprofessional
confederations. CEEMET also cooperates with the Australian Industry Group
(Ai Group)
and the Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of South Africa
(SEIFSA), which are both
affiliated members
.
Altogether, the CEEMET Members directly represent approximately 200,000 member companies employing
some 12.7 million workers. However, due to the impact of country-wide or region-wide collective
agreements on non-affiliated companies, the indirect numbers are higher still.
A number of CEEMET Members are federations, which means that their members are either
autonomous regional associations
(France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom) or
professional branch groups
(Austria, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands). In this context, companies are usually not directly affiliated
to the Federation, but to a regional association.
The remaining member countries do not have autonomous regional organisations. In this context, the
CEEMET Member is an association to which companies are directly affiliated.
CEEMET’s European members are found in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
