THE INVESTMENT of Frans Arntz - since 2003 I am fascinated by the complex matter of fireworks being a professional art and craft with explosive products along with a rich historical and cultural background. Besides from being an idealist I see it as the ultimate challenge to (try to) organize the fireworks industry in Europe and make a difference. My first and main motivation is that I believe EUFIAS can and should be founded. Having gathered people who joined the Board of Directors, it is almost a fact by now! What I gain from it at the moment is that I am establishing a network throughout Europe and that I am receiving information and knowledge. For the lines of business I am in (advisor, surveyor, expert witness, chairman of committees of experts etc.) a good network, information and knowledge is important. Best regards, Frans Arntz , Presiding Chairman |
