The Association of European Manufacturers of Industrial Gas Turbines (EuMIGT) was officially launched on 27 November 1997. The Association, which brings together Europe's major industrial gas turbine engine manufacturers, is intended to provide a forum for cooperation and the exchange of views. The aim is to identify common interests and encourage collaboration in the field of pre-competitive research and technology with a view to ensuring Europe's position as a world leader in the field. Member companies include Rolls Royce, ABB STAL, GHH BORSIG, European Gas Turbines, Turbomeca and Volvo - all manufacturers of aero derived and lightweight industrial gas turbines in the power range up to 50,000 kilowatts. These are suited to a number of applications including electrical power generation, the transmission of oil and gas, both on and off shore, power units for vehicle, rail and ship propulsion and for power for the process industry.
