In 2005 Orgalime published a Manifesto, "Engineering the Future", which set out our aims towards ensuring the continuation and development of the engineering industries, the largest manufacturing industry sector in Europe. In November 2009, this was superceded by "Manufacturing Matters" in which Orgalime builds on the proposals of the European institutions to provide a coherent industrial policy vision for our industry in the short medium and long term in the perspective of the new European Commission and European Parliament, so as to underpin the policy options determined by the European institutions.
Our vision is to actively promote the development in Europe of the necessary competitive framework conditions under which our companies can flourish, provide growth and employment both today and in the long term as manufacturers in the EU, and to ensure that the trading conditions they face are fair, both in the EU and on export markets.
We aim to provide added value to our members and to our industry by providing a wide range of services to our members, to individual sectors of the industry, and, through our large selection of publications, to companies and to those who advise them.
We also aim to provide our members with a network where they can exchange information and together develop services which are useful to their member companies.

In pursuing our mission, we intend to:
-
Communicate the importance that manufacturing industry plays in the economy of the EU with a view to focusing the minds of regulators on the competitiveness of manufacturing industry in the EU as the prime driver of the regulatory agenda.
-
Provide the European institutions with the information, data and analysis they request in their consultations prior to issuing regulatory or policy proposals in order to facilitate the appreciation of the potential impact of such proposals.
-
Through this consultation process, encourage regulators to pursue the path of sustainable regulation: simpler and better regulation which SMEs can manage and which contribute to their development.
-
Collaborate with organisations pursuing the same goals, so as to enhance the effectiveness of our actions.
-
Develop and to strengthen the collaboration within our network so as to provide an ever better service to our clients - the industry which supports us in a number of areas such as technical guides, legal contracts and publications.
-
To promote the collaboration of engineering companies in the areas such as research environmental and energy efficiency technologies with a view to enhancing the market potential and competitiveness for our industry.
-
To promote in a positive manner the image of our industry and to communicate the vision of our industry as widely as possible.
Orgalime has as main objectives:
-
To provide to its members information on the activities of the European Union and international bodies of direct relevance to the operations of engineering companies operating in the EU.
-
To be the prime voice of the EU engineering industry on selected issues affecting a broad range of its members.
-
To provide a wide range of customised services to different sectors of our industry, notably for the monitoring, analysis and dissemination of relevant information published by regulators and for the organisation of congresses and events.
-
To promote relations between member federations/associations.
