FESI – European Federation of Associations of Insulation Contractors

FESI (Fédération Européenne des Syndicats d’Entreprises d’Isolation) is the European Federation of Associations of Insulation Contractors. FESI was founded on 23rd October 1970 and is an independent European Federation representing the insulation contracting sector. FESI promotes insulation as one of the best, the most cost-effective and sustainable manner to save energy. FESI represents the insulation associations from 18 European countries whose members are active in insulation for the industry, the commercial and the building sectors, as well as for shipping, insulation, soundproofing and fire protection.

Organisations representing insulation firms (thermal insulation, sound-proofing and acoustic correction, fire-proofing insulation) in the countries of Europe can be FESI member in one of the following categories:

Active Members: All professional bodies representing insulation firms in every European country can be active members.
Associate Members: Firms which are members of these professional bodies are associate members, in so far as their professional bodies are active members.
Corresponding Members: Insulation firms in countries where no representative professional body exists.
Global informative partners: Global acting companies producing or suppling material or equipment for the insulation contractors, also global organization supporting insulation market

Training & Certification

FESI cooperates with national training bodies and technical insulation associations to support high-quality vocational education across Europe. Our network encourages best practices in thermal insulation, fireproofing, and acoustic applications—helping to close the skills gap and elevate safe and energy-efficient construction standards.

Member countries regularly host training programs and certification workshops, aligned with EU directives and local regulatory frameworks. Whether you are an apprentice, skilled installer, or training centre, FESI provides access to guidance, materials, and partner institutions that invest in the future of our industry.

Who we are

FESI is the information, activity and representative platform for European companies active in the insulation business.

Actually, FESI members represent 18 countries with about 1000 contractor companies and more than 40.000 employees. Insulation work is executed in thermal, acoustic and fire protection of air channels, pipes, vessels, tanks, ships, buildings and other industrial equipment. The represented contractors are busy for the HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) sector and in the industrial insulation for power- petrochemical-, chemical- or other production plants.

The role, strategy and targets of FESI:

Information platform to national associations and their members in all issues of products, tools, training, and application,
Promote innovations in technical and working standards
Assist information exchange about level of training, education, and qualification
Support networking and communication between the national associations
Organize and run an attractive European championship for the insulation handcraft
Support lobby work to reduce energy waste and CO2 emission, which can be achieved by more and better insulation

Following the above described role and strategy this webside provides information to interesting companies, partners, clients and of course to our members and everybody busy in the insulation industry. For questions, please be invited to contact our secretary (see menu point).
