WHY?
We can distinguish ethical-moral and practical reasons, such as the cost / benefit ratio.
Associating and actively supporting its Association, in particular for a fragmented sector like the galvanic one, could be seen as a duty by entrepreneurs who look to the future and who want to grow and better face the challenges and choices with greater awareness. Associating means being available to share their experiences, not being alone in the face of problems. In many European countries, for example, the association is very much felt and most companies (up to 90%) pay the membership fee, allowing 'Association of maintaining very efficient structures, with real consultants available to associated companies.
The cost is the annual fee, whose size can not be thought to represent a real obstacle. The list of benefits is soon done, the membership qualification offers the following advantages:
1. Free subscription to the magazine "Electroplating and new finishes".
2. Discounts on the purchase of texts and technical documentation on participation fees for seminars, training courses and fairs organized or sponsored by our Association.
3. Access to the consulting service reserved for members.
4. Entering your company in the database of this site, with sufficient detail information to generate business contacts with new potential customers. If the company already has its own website, the insertion also includes "direct access" links.
Other benefits, difficult to evaluate, but certainly have a positive impact derive from the fact that the Association is the ideal form to activate and maintain contacts and relationships (with universities, research centers, public institutions, foreign associations, etc.) that the Galvanic company, alone and isolated, is not able to sustain.
With the limited forces we have already done, we have already done a lot, but there is no doubt that to continue on the road to improvement we need companies to support us, we leave the initiative to give us credit.
