The Spanish National Federation of Automatic Door Manufacturers, Installers and Maintenance Companies (FIMPA) has joined the Spanish Confederation of Metal Employers' Organisations (CONFEMETAL), with the aim of reinforcing their commitment and uniting their messages about the safety of doors and automation systems.

FIMPA, committed to excellence in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of doors and automation systems, shares key objectives that are aligned with CONFEMETAL's vision regarding compliance with regulations, safety awareness and the inclusion of occupational risk prevention policies, according to the federation chaired by Javier Pérez Sánchez.

In terms of regulatory compliance, FIMPA ensures that products installed on the market comply with current regulations, such as CE marking, which guarantees fair competition between manufacturers, and contributes to the safety of both workers and end consumers. Its partnership with CONFEMETAL will strengthen these efforts by providing additional support to promote fair trade practices and regulatory compliance.

Regarding awareness of security, one of the federation's priorities is to make companies aware of the dangers associated with improper maintenance and servicing of doors and gates. Security is a priority for both organisations, and joining forces will amplify awareness efforts across the industry.

Importance of CE marking

On their inclusion in occupational risk prevention policies, FIMPA argues that doors and gates are machines according to occupational risk prevention regulations. This underlines the importance of CE marking and its proper maintenance. The collaboration with CONFEMETAL will strengthen this message and promote a safer working environment.

The association of FIMPA and CONFEMETAL represents an important step towards a safer future for doors and operators, according to the federation. "Both organisations will work closely together to promote excellence in the sector," they conclude.
