Trade Associations

Trade associations are organisations founded and funded by businesses that operate in a specific industry, such as weighing or scales and balances. Funded by contributions made by the member companies, trade associations participate in public relations activities such as advertising, networking, conferences, charitable events, education, lobbying and publishing, but their main purpose is collaboration between companies.

Adam Equipment believes strongly that being part of weighing industry trade associations – and being part of the communities that use our products – offers valuable benefits. Membership allows us to keep up with the latest market trends and changes, as well as helping to shape the future of the industry itself. We’re able to work with other companies in the weighing industry to work together on issues of common concern. To a certain extent, a trade organisation helps to protect the integrity of an industry, in that it normally sets standards that all members must abide by in order to be considered in good standing.

Adam Equipment is a proud member of several industry associations. Memberships are chosen by both an ambition to work within those markets, as well as a desire to learn new and better ways to serve our customers.
