History of Farecogaz

  • 2011 Merger of FAREGAZ and FACOGAZ
    The two associations FAREGAZ and FACOGAZ were merged into a new association named FARECOGAZ – The association of European manufacturers of gas metering equipment, gas pressure regulators and associated safety devices and stations in Brussels. The merger of the two associations offers clear synergies and it will now be easier to leverage these. In addition, bundling their technological competence under one common roof gives the new association an even stronger voice in the gas market, which is growing rapidly in significance. A further reason for the merger can be found in the fact that the same contact person with a customer or authority is often responsible for both associations; communication with these should thus be both smoother and more intense in future.
