What is the PPMA Group and how do the associations work within it and together?
The PPMA Group Associations is made up of 3 likeminded but distinct trade associations. Each maintains its own brand and identity along with its own management committee who guide the aims and objectivesof “their” association within the group. Together the 3 associations make a powerful source of technical, engineering and production line information across many industry sectors. Companies joining one association can belong to others in the Association Group at no extra costs. Each association has its own dedicated staff serving each group of members and dedicated industry sectors. Staff join resources together to provide additional services to members in areas such as lobbying, publishing, technical support, seminars, sales lead generation and cross sector statistical data. Combining resources has lead to the Association Group providing new and enhanced services for all members as offerings are spread across all associations. Full members of each association are invited to take shared ownership of the Association Group, we are a private limited company but our shareholders are our full members. Shares are issued through the umbrella company Processing & Packaging Machinery Assocation Ltd, and you will be invited to participate in the annual AGM and receive copies of our annual published accounts. Directors of the business are elected from full member companies, they put themselves forward for election as voted by full member shareholding companies. PPMA Ltd has been established since 1987 and to date has over 460 companies whom hold shares in the business. Shares do not increase or decrease in value and if a company chooses to leave the association group they are obliged to sell their shares back for £100. More information can be found in the company memorandum and articles of association.
