Last Modified: 3rd December 2012

The BPF Rotational Moulding Group was represented in full force at the recent Affiliation of Rotational Moulding Organisations (ARMO) Conference in Lyon on the 1st and 2nd of October. The conference is the largest internationally recognised event in the rotational moulding industry with over 450 delegates present. The Group showed its unity and strength at the conference with over 20 UK companies in attendance made up of a broad section of moulders, material suppliers, machinery manufacturers, ancillary equipment suppliers and service providers.

At the conference Mark Kearns of Queens University Belfast delivered a well informed presentation on the ‘Future Proofing of the Rotational Moulding Process’ which was followed later in the day by Martin Spencer of Rototek (a trading name of Trent Mouldings Ltd) who presented on the subject of ‘Innovative Rotationally Moulded Healthcare Products’. Dr Gavin McDowell and Dr Nick Henwood of 493K delivered on the second day a well informed presentation titled ‘Is your Rotomoulding Process Energy Inefficient’. The presentations were received with enthusiasm from the audience.

Karen Drinkwater Chairman of the BPF Rotational Moulders Group also presented a midday session titled ‘Industrial & Automotive Design’ adding to the awareness of the UKs knowledge and presence at the conference.

Karen mentioned in reference to the event ‘BPF Rotational Moulders are a leading force, we are at the technological cutting edge with access to the UK’s great design facilities and first rate academic infrastructure. Our presentations clearly indicated this to the international audience with great effect’

Jonathan Bloom Senior Executive for the BPF Rotational Moulders Group stated ‘it was great to see such a strong turn out from the UK contingent our presence was made clearer by the strong contribution made by the BPF Rotational Moulders Group members’.
