Showing strength together, speaking with one voice, clearly representing a common position,
and take a forward-looking approach – the PVD achieves all this and more with reliable
partners. Which ones are among them? Take a look for yourself.
If you want to move a lot, you need reliable partners. Partners who are always actively at your side, who inspire and move you forward and who ensure a stimulating exchange of ideas.
All this and more is what ultimately distinguishes a good partnership. PVD has several. We cooperate with the following associations and events:
