ALLTUB and TUBEX have already been closely associated with MPE's wider industry network. Both TUBEX and ALLTUB Italia were recognised at the European Tube Manufacturers Association (ETMA) Tube of the Year 2026 awards, presented in Lisbon on June 11.
The membership expansion also aligns with MPE's wider decarbonisation agenda. The association recently introduced a decarbonisation roadmap for the European aluminium beverage can industry, outlining a pathway towards net-zero emissions. The addition of Eastman, alongside two leading aluminium tube and aerosol can manufacturers, reflects MPE's focus on strengthening technical expertise in lightweighting, recyclability and materials science as discussions around upcoming European Union circular economy and packaging waste regulations continue.
