Joining the AFR guarantees you the latest information on this technique.
Every fortnight, a "watch alert" is sent to members: it is produced by a team of watchers who analyse hundreds of sources worldwide and produce a weekly summary. Every month, the AFR sends its members a list of commodity prices.
Joining the AFR opens the door to events never before seen in the sector.
The AFR organises national and international events aimed at discovering new techniques and advancing rotational moulding practices throughout the French-speaking world. Each year, the AFR organises an event focusing on topical issues for rotational moulding professionals. As a member of the AFR, you can take part in ARMO events at a discounted rate.
Joining the AFR expands your knowledge of rotational moulding
At the origin of the "Rotomolding Academy" initiative, the AFR, in association with its German, Australian and Italian colleagues, is setting up a knowledge base on the state of the art of Rotomolding worldwide. This could eventually lead to training modules as well as development programmes. This knowledge will be made available to our members.
Join the AFR to position yourself in relation to other players.
Professional benchmarking: This enables you to take stock of equipment, tonnages processed, markets entered, human resources management policy... and many other indicators!
Financial benchmarking: The annual accounts of rotational moulding manufacturers (whether AFR members or not) have been analysed by an external expert, providing a "global snapshot" of the financial health of rotational moulding companies. AFR members on the panel can access the analysis for their company in complete confidentiality.
Join the AFR to identify new business opportunities
Through its website and physical meetings, the AFR acts as an intermediary between potential customers and its players. The promotion of rotational moulding and its technical developments is an essential vector in the conquest of new projects and new applications. The AFR website is also a great way of making contacts with anyone looking for information on rotational moulding and future customers looking for partners.
Joining the AFR opens you up to international opportunities
With its affiliation to ARMO, the Application of Rotational Moulding Organisation, the AFR is open to international trade and technical exchanges with all countries. We invite our members to take part in events organised by organisations similar to ours in other parts of the world.
Join the AFR to make rotational moulding more widely known
To give weight to the sector and highlight its expertise, the association organises the visibility of the rotational moulding sector at trade fairs. These events are an important means of communicating rotational moulding techniques. The AFR's Interent website also helps to promote the technique.
Join the AFR to talk to members
Depending on the latest developments in the rotational moulding industry, committees of industrialists are set up to deal with specific issues (e.g. rotational moulding and ergonomics, release agents, powder explosibility....). To keep the association alive, a development committee made up of around fifteen manufacturers representing the entire rotational moulding value chain meets regularly to discuss technical, economic and process promotion issues, etc.
