Sections

The Association GMV has five sections, oriented towards the five main groups of end users of the products made by the members. Members can decide to participate in more than one section. However, quite often their products and expertise are also used in other fields than the ones which are covered by the sections of which they are a member. President of the association is Mr J. (Jan) Hak.

Animal Feed
The manufacturers and suppliers of installations and machinery for the compound industry also constitute a section of the GMV. However, the scope of the section is wider than the name suggests: Members also supply machinery for grain handling and processing, pet and fish food industry etc. The president of the section Animal Feed is Mr P.

Bakery Equipment
In 1999 the VFB (Association for Bakery Technology) was integrated in GMV and became the fifth section. It consists of a group of equipment manufacturers, involved in both the traditional and industrial bakery sectors, for bread and pastry. The GMV represents this section in the executive committee of the BTF (Stichting Bakkerij Toeleveranciers Federatie). Four sector associations of suppliers to the bakery sector founded this body to organise the annual trade fairs (‘Bakkerijdagen’ and ‘Bakkerijbeurs)‘ for the bakery sector. This body developed also several initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and a healthy bakery sector. The President of the section Bakery Equipment is Mr W.M.M. (Wim) Schonk.
