[ 30 years of DUD ]Experience and Innovation
When the founding members cam together in 1978 to resolve upon the foundation of an Industrial Association for manufacturers of plastic roof and sealing sheets, a European legislature or harmonization of norms was nowhere in sight. As we know today, their decision back then was wise and farsighted. 30 years after the fusion of the sheets manufacturers under the umbrella of the IVK (Industrial Association of Plastic Sheets e.V.), the DUD e.V. (Plastic Roofand Sealing Sheets e.V.) – since 1991 – has developed into an influential lobby of the German manufacturers of roof and sealing sheets.

Throughout Europe the association represents its members’ interest in the ESWA (European Single ply Waterproofing Association). Under the slogan “30 Years of DUD – Experience and Innovation”, the DUD celebrates its 30. Anniversary in 2008. Experience and innovation – two characteristics that are founded in the “Technical Committee” (TC) and the “Marketing Committee” (MC). Both committees do important work for the roof industry: The Technical Committee is in charge of the development of trade specific standards, norms, guidelines and approvals as well as new measures of quality assurance for manufacturing and processing.

The main task and focal point of the Marketing Committee is public relations i.e. fostering the Association’s image for architects, manufacturers, the specialized roofing trade as well as private and public constructors and investors. Furthermore, the Association is actively involved in the field of environmental and waste disposal management. Together with the AfDR (Working Committee for the Recycling of Roof Sheets) their environmental efforts have been institutionalized for a long time. Concerning the subjects of collecting and processing disused roof sheets the Working Committee sets the standard throughout Europe. The DUD offers a special service for the next generation of planners: it offers learning material for students and universities and organizes workshops and guest speakers. This way they want to provide the trade’s know-how to all the young architects and planners out there. The Association’s Internet services have become a favored source of information. The website offers up to date trade news, practical application examples and checklists around the subject of restoration.
