Overview

Mission

The Association of Rotational Molders (ARM) is a worldwide trade association currently representing member companies in 58 countries. Members include manufacturers of rotationally molded plastic products, suppliers to the industry, designers, and professionals. ARM is the primary voice of the industry and the source for information on rotational molding. The Association serves its members by focusing on the needs of designers, customers, educators, suppliers, member company employees and regulators.

ARM represents its industry in many ways. We speak when and where it's needed - to government, to industry, to the public, to the press and to other groups as well as to prospective customers. ARM supports research and development. Research projects are sponsored through a number of highly regarded institutions that have top-notch facilities and staff. ARM's work is done through special committees that are designed to meet the needs of the membership and the industry. All members benefit from the experience and wisdom gained from working on these committees. Participation is encouraged, and the success of the Association depends on it.
