BPF Rotational Moulding Troubleshooting Seminar Attracts Record Numbers

On the 24th February in Redditch, the BPF Rotational Moulding Group organised the third annual Rotational Moulding Seminar; this year focusing on the topic of troubleshooting and assisting Rotational Moulders in finding solutions to key issues. The seminar, which brought together key industry experts, included a series of informative presentations and the audience were invited to pose questions to the panel of experts.

“The event attracted over 110 attendees from 50 firms. As there are only around 60 Rotational Moulders in the UK, the turnout for this event was exceptional and really demonstrates the hunger amongst UK firms to continually improve upon the excellent work they already achieve. It is no surprise that the UK Rotational Moulders are held in the highest regard and seen as some of the best in the world”, said Sara Cammarano, Rotational Moulding Executive at the BPF.

“The seminar provides a unique opportunity for the entire rotational moulding community to meet together and to network. It also allowed attenddes to learn how to solve the most common issues faced by Rotational Moulders today.  The feedback from delegate's was extremely positive, with many underlining how, despite being in the industry for a number of years, there is always something one can learn from presentations and from talking to other moulder.”, she added.

The BPF’s Rotational Moulding Group is one of the most active and fastest growing groups in the Federation. The Group is currently occupied with a number of different initiatives of interest to all involved in the rotational moulding industry. These include a code of practice for rotational moulding machines which the Group are working on, in collaboration with the HSE, and the harmonisation of technical datasheets.

“This event proved to be the biggest gathering of Rotational Moulders in the UK since the Group organised ARMO 2008 in Belfast. ARMO is the global conference for rotational moulders and ARMO 2015 will take place in Nottingham in September, also being organised by the Group. The attendance of this event bodes very well for the success of ARMO 2015, which is expected to attract in excess of 500 delegates and will provide an excellent opportunity to showcase the best of innovation and design the UK has to offer”, stated Karen Drinkwater, Chair of the Rotational Moulding Group.
