Become a member

Would you like to become a member of ADM? We’re delighted to hear it! We are always open to new companies that are committed to our values and want to shape the industry together with us.

To become a full member of ADM, you must be able to answer “yes” to the questions below regarding the length of time your company has been in business and its annual turnover.

If your company has been on the market for less than three years and/or your annual turnover is lower, ADM offers you the option of associate membership (see below).

For young startups and smaller companies: Associate membership

If your company does not meet the requirements for full membership in terms of length of existence and turnover, you can apply for associate membership at a significantly lower membership fee: Associate members do not have voting rights, but otherwise enjoy all the rights of a full member. This includes the use of the ADM logo, access to legal advice, participation in internal association workshops, and, of course, membership meetings. In addition, companies must commit to complying with the association’s statutes, professional principles, rules of conduct, quality standards, and ADM resolutions.
