ARM delivers unmatched value for our members. Here’s a summary of what we accomplished together in the first quarter of 2025:
Expanded the ARM Training Academy with the release of the Wall Thickness Control Series, now available on-demand. This four-part program—developed by Dr. Nick Henwood—covers heat variation, powder flow, troubleshooting, and more. Members receive a certificate upon completion of the course. Check out all four certificate series here.
Launched the XLPE Webinar Series with Ron Cooke, featuring:
- Crosslinkable Polyethylene Overview: Processes, Applications, and Safety
- Rotational Molding with XLPE: Guidelines for Success
Attendance and feedback has been excellent at these free-to-member webinars. Additional sessions are scheduled throughout Q2.
Featured Roto Process Tune-Up webinars throughout our Q1 newsletters—a curated selection of technical presentations focused on improving efficiency and solving real-world molding challenges. Topics included:
- Curing Mold Release & Controlling Warpage
- Process Tuning 101

Hosted the Introduction to Rotational Molding seminar in California, hosted by Dru Laws. Attendees gained practical insights to improve quality, solve issues, and optimize their role in production. Attend the seminar in Ohio on May 9 or Illinois on June 5.
Hosted the 2025 Executive Forum in Scottsdale, March 24–26, with 60+ attendees. Sessions on cybersecurity, economic trends, safety, sustainability, and workforce training led to real action—from credit protection to internal reviews and team discussions.
