RadTech Europe

What RadTech Europe does

RadTech Europe is a non-profit industry association established in May 1988, originally in Basel, Switzerland and headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands since 1999. It serves as the leading European trade body for UV/EB (Ultraviolet/Electron Beam) energy curing technology, connecting, educating, and empowering approximately 150 member organizations across the full value chain — from raw material suppliers and equipment manufacturers to formulators, converters, and brand owners in printing, packaging, coatings, and adhesives.

The association's core activities center on knowledge dissemination and community-building rather than proprietary technology development. Its product surface includes educational resources (UV/LED/EB quick courses, knowledge base with 700+ presentations, market maps, regulatory affairs content), biennial conferences and exhibitions (Munich 2019/2023, Warsaw 2025/2027) attracting ~300 participants from 35+ countries, technical and regulatory webinars, specialty seminars (automotive, coil coating, packaging), and an annual Innovation Award competition. The Secretariat operates with approximately 7 staff managed by Lejeune Association Management.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring annual membership dues from ~150 enterprise members, biennial conference and exhibition fees/sponsorships, digital advertising on a website attracting 15,000–18,000 monthly page views, and document/article sales. RTE is governed by a Management Committee elected at the General Assembly, with Holly Steedman (IST INTECH) appointed President in March 2026. The association is part of a global RadTech network with partner organizations in North America, South America, China, Japan, Malaysia, and Australia, and maintains allied relationships with European bodies including CEPE, CEPI, ECCA, INGEDE, and ESMA.
