Preamble & Core Values
The Federation of Asian Die and Mould Associations (FADMA) aims to enhance mutual understanding and experience sharing among its members. The organization is committed to improving technical and managerial standards while fostering strong strategic relationships across member nations to drive regional economic cooperation.
Institutional Objectives
FADMA serves as a central hub to elevate the image of the die and mould industry and provide a unified platform for information exchange. By coordinating cross-border efforts, the federation establishes regional technical standards and shares vital trade data and economic indicators. Ultimately, these initiatives strengthen cooperation on common regional challenges, promote regular management and technical exchanges, and maintain strong partnerships with other global economic organizations.
