AFR 2026 Master Class: Best practices in rotomoulding to boost your competitiveness

MASTERCLASS 2026 – Paris

The event for decision-makers and experts in rotomoulding:

Against a backdrop of regulatory changes, pressure on energy and raw material costs, environmental challenges and rising market expectations, rotomoulding companies must, now more than ever, anticipate changes in their operating environment and share their experiences in order to remain competitive.

The AFR Master Class is fully in line with this collective ambition. It is a key event for the industry, providing an opportunity for executives, technical managers, production managers, R&D managers and industry experts to come together to discuss the practical issues shaping the future of rotational moulding.

This edition has been put together directly in response to the feedback provided by rotomoulders and will combine:

  • Presentations by recognised experts
  • Real-life feedback from rotomoulders
  • Open discussions amongst professionals
  • Opportunities for informal networking and sharing ideas
  • As well as an exhibition area dedicated to the sector’s partners and suppliers

As the best solutions often arise from sharing experiences, this Master Class aims to foster collective responses to the technical, economic and regulatory challenges faced by companies in the sector.
