Performance Days has announced its membership of the European Outdoor Group (EOG). The EOG’s Membership Committee successfully confirmed the partnership at the beginning of the year, and since then, Performance Days has become a full member of the world’s largest association representing the interests of the European outdoor industry.

More than 120 association members, including internationally significant outdoor companies, now share a common goal: to use this collective strength as a powerful voice to represent the European outdoor industry in a constructive and positive manner.

The EOG provides insights into the European outdoor market, offers opportunities for collaboration in CSR and sustainability, organizes important trade fairs and events, represents the entire outdoor value chain on relevant issues, and promotes effective communication within the sector.

Performance Days sees itself as a central player in the development and networking of the textile industry, contributing to the promotion of innovation and sustainability. The fair places a particular focus on sustainable solutions, offering insights into eco-friendly materials, recycling technologies, and resource-efficient production processes, and helps make the textile value chain more sustainable.

Marco Weichert, CEO of Performance Days, looks forward to the upcoming collaboration with great confidence: "It is an honour for us to join the EOG, and we are already looking forward to the future cooperation. As the voice of the European outdoor sector, we support their vision of conducting global business successfully while giving back more than we take from nature and people. As a leading trade fair for functional fabrics and sustainable textile innovations, we can face the future challenges of the outdoor industry with forward-thinking approaches and collaborate on important topics."

The European Outdoor Group is delighted about the growth: "It is truly encouraging that sustainability was the driving force behind Performance Days' decision to apply for EOG membership. We look forward to closely collaborating with their team on key sustainability projects."

Performance Days takes place from 5-6 March 2025 at Messe München, Munich, Germany.
