“Following the decision in 2014 to include retailers as EOG members, the board proposed a further expansion to incorporate product ingredient brands, subject to eligibility criteria,” it added.

Mark Held, general secretary of EOG said, “We welcome PrimaLoft as the first product ingredient brand to join the EOG as it commits to work with members to meet objectives that will benefit our entire industry.”
“As our association continues to grow, our members fully understand that by working together, we can address many of the challenges, with an overall goal to maximise the opportunities that exist,” Held too added.
Jochen Lagemann, MD Primaloft Europe & Asia too said, “We highly appreciate joining the EOG as the first ingredient brand, to contribute to the group through our global experience.”
“We are looking forward to continuing to drive a sustainable approach together, from sourcing to the end consumer,” Lagemann stated.
“Our contribution will not only help our brand customers through product innovation, but also will support the EOG in working on new concept approaches to further develop and expand our industry,” he stated.
“Motivating new target groups and increasing public visibility and relevance is very important for a passionate industry such as ours,” Lagemann observed. (AR)
