What Our Proud Members Say…
IPHA is a result of the efforts of many busy people that have given, and continue to give, their time to the organisation. Through shared experiences, every member has the chance to benefit from others, and come away richer in their knowledge for it.
IPHA has been a formative part of the hollowcore industry over the years. It has pre-empted potential problems within the market and helped its members to address them, increasing confidence in hollowcore as a construction product.
International co-operation in the industry is important. Markets, regulations and applications differ from one country to the next. IPHA has been a good forum to discuss solutions, design practices and other topics, allowing members to learn from each other and improve their businesses.
