Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Container Association (FIBCA)
The Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Association (FIBCA) was formed
in 1983 by the companies that were manufacturing bulk bags at that
time. There was a need for a single voice in dealing with the regulatory
bodies that controlled the shipment of products. FIBCA today is the
source of information to its members on regulations for international
shipments of product. Information is obtained from our close association
with EFIBCA (Europe) and as a member of the International Council
of Intermediate Bulk Container Associations. |
