Orgalime's strategy provides for the possibility for Orgalime to offer European product sector committees and associations in the engineering industry a range of services. There are two main types of service proposed today (i) a Bridgehead to the EU; (ii) General Secretariat.

(i) The Bridgehead establishes a link between the European committee and the Commission and other EU institutions. It also allows the committee to use Orgalime's monitoring - early warning service so that it is kept fully informed of the Commission's initiatives long before any official proposals are issued. If an issue requires further input or lobbying Orgalime’s Bridgehead department can provide this service.

(ii) The General Secretariat  includes activities such as the daily management of the European office, arranging committee meetings, accounting and budgeting, hosting of website and other specific services etc.

Orgalime at present provides services for the following committees/associations :
CEIR - valves
CEMA - agricultural machinery
CEO - hand tools
EFCEM - catering equipment
EFSAC - safety & security equipment
EGMF - garden equipment
ESTAL - surface treatment on aluminium
EUMABOIS - wood working machinery
EUROMAP - plastics and rubber machinery
EUROM 1 - ophthalmic optics
EUROPERF - perforators
EUROPUMP - pumps
FEM - material handling & storage
PNEUROP - compressors

Services to European product sector committees are provided by a team whose task is to ensure that full independence is maintained for each committee/association. They therefore benefit from Orgalime's infrastructure and access to the EU institutions while being independent at a policy level.
