ARM Financial & Operational Data Benchmarking

For two years in a row, ARM International has conducted a Financial & Operational Data Benchmarking Survey for member molder companies.

We have contracted with Profit Planning Group, a trusted firm that has conducted similar surveys with hundreds of trade organizations. Profit Planning Group keeps your proprietary company data strictly confidential. Only the necessary staff of Profit Planning Group ever sees your data. Reports present only aggregated results. Strict masking procedures are used so no individual firm data can be identified. All survey forms are destroyed after processing. In over 20 years of conducting benchmarking studies, Profit Planning Group has an unblemished record of maintaining confidentiality.

All molders who participated in this survey received the PROFIT report, a financial and operational profile of the entire industry, at no charge. Click here to download a sample of the PROFIT report that does not use ARM data.

Molders who took part in the survey and wanted more data, were able to purchase the Performance Analysis Report for $395. This confidential report compares the individual company with similar participating firms. The report is sent directly by Profit Planning Group and is not seen by ARM Staff or anyone outside Profit Planning Group. Many firms take this report to their bank to discuss loans and lines of credit.

Testimonials

I found the Spring Meeting to be the most beneficial in years.  The quality of the information and presentations were first rate.  The conference provided an executive level discussion regarding key financial metrics and the state of rotational molding in North America.  The report out for those that participated in the financial survey benefitted from a rare industry benchmark.  I would strongly encourage all molders to participate in the survey and meeting in the future as there are few opportunities to garner this type of important information!

We find the Benchmarking Study to be very helpful in assessing the efficiencies and effectiveness of our processes in comparison to other rotational molders of similar size.  Having the ability to review financial results and productivity ratios gives us a starting point for improvements or satisfaction that we have achieved our goals.  The Performance Scorecard highlights areas of strength and those that need improvement.  We found the Benchmarking Study to be very useful in establishing goals for the next year.

This is a unique opportunity for molder companies to learn where they fit in the marketplace and to access data specific to our industry and available nowhere else. The only way for member molder companies to have access to these reports is to take part in the survey.
