After the 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Port Vila in December 2024, damage to water infrastructure disrupted access to clean water for communities across the area. Through a relief initiative coordinated by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission, Fiberglass Vanuatu & Pacific Polytanks supplied and delivered 34 water tanks to schools and churches, helping restore water storage capacity and support the communities that rely on them.

As World Water Week begins, we're proud to share this story of how locally manufactured rotomoulded products are helping strengthen water security and resilience in the Pacific. Read the full story on the ARMA website.

Fifty years of ARMA is ultimately a story about people.

Following the release of our 50 Years of ARMA video, which you can view here: https://youtu.be/UO88k-1kVE4

we're proud to share this special moment from Rotomould26, bringing together several ARMA Presidents past and present.

For five decades, volunteers from across the industry have contributed their time, knowledge and leadership to help guide the association and support the growth of rotational moulding throughout our region.

To all who have served ARMA over the years, thank you. Your efforts have helped build the strong and connected industry community we celebrate today.

30/07/2026

First shown at the opening of Rotomould26, this video celebrates 50 years of ARMA and the people who have helped shape the association along the way.

From industry pioneers and dedicated volunteers to board directors, members and supporters, countless individuals have contributed to ARMA's growth over the past five decades.

This anniversary year is an opportunity to reflect on that shared history, celebrate how far we've come, and look ahead to the future of rotational moulding.

🎥 Watch the video and join us in celebrating 50 years of ARMA.

Going Above and Beyond for ARMA

Think the conference is over when the last delegate leaves? Not quite.

After Rotomould26 wrapped up, ARMA Board Members Mark Medew and Brad Smyth were still on the job, loading conference materials and equipment into Mark's ute. While Brad helped with the heavy lifting, Mark took on the important task of delivering everything back to ARMA CEO Michelle Rose's office.

It's not the most glamorous part of serving on a board, but it's a great reminder that ARMA's volunteer leaders are always willing to pitch in where needed, whether that's helping shape the future of the industry or making sure a ute full of conference gear gets safely home.

A big thank you to Mark for going the extra mile, and to Brad for lending a hand with the pack-up.

Because sometimes industry leadership looks less like a boardroom and more like loading a ute after a long week.

You can't keep ARMA CEO Michelle Rose still for long! ✈️

Michelle has been in New Zealand catching up with ARMA members Vision Plastics and PRM, learning more about what's happening in their businesses and across the industry.

While there, she also met with Rachel Barker from Plastics New Zealand to discuss the current state of the industry and opportunities to work together on shared challenges and priorities.

Thank you all for sharing your time, insights and ideas.
