History – growing together

In the very last days of 1989, a group of Spanish and a group of French electrical wholesalers signed an agreement of international collaboration to commence at the beginning of the following year.
Further countries joined the group until in 1993 it comprised groups from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and UK. At their European Congress in Berlin that year these countries founded the organisation with the name FEGIME.
More members were recruited over the years.
