Elastomer Products Group
2009 Membership Application & Sales Assessment -- Supplier
The Rubber Manufacturers Association's Elastomer Products Group, as authorized by its by-laws,
requires every member and/or applicant-member supplier company to annually report the amount
of their global sales to the rubber products manufacturing industry for the purpose of calculating an
equitable assessment of annual dues. Sales to be reported should represent net realized sales
revenue.
The conditions governing supplier membership are stated in the current RMA by-laws as follows:
Any person, firm, corporation or other entity engaged in the United States in the manufacture
or supply of materials used to make finished rubber products (including, but not limited to,
chemical, elastomer, machinery and equipment, and other raw material producers) may
become a Supplier Member of the Association. Each Supplier Member shall be represented
either by the person who is the Member or by an officer, employee or agent of the Member
corporation, firm or entity. Each person representing a Supplier Member of the Association
shall be registered as a Member Representative in the manner prescribed by the Board of
Directors of the Association. Upon all questions, each Supplier Member of the Association
shall be entitled to one vote at each meeting of the Members. Supplier Members may serve
as non-voting members of the Board of Directors at a ratio no greater than that represented
by the dues of Supplier Members as a percentage of the overall Association budget. Supplier
members shall have such other benefits, obligations and rights of participation in the affairs of
the Association as shall be permitted by law and prescribed by the Board or by the Executive
Committee to the extent authorized by the Board.
We ask that all members (or applying members) supply all requested information, including an
assessment of annual sales and the applicable dues.
We expect all members to report a fair and equitable number that reflects the value of their global
sales to the rubber products manufacturing industry. To facilitate your response, the RMA has kept
this reporting form simple. You are asked to report the extent of your sales to the industry by "tier",
and also to estimate the breakdown of company sales to tire manufacturers vs. non-tire (general and
industrial products) manufacturers.
The confidentiality of all submitted information will be strictly maintained.
Your completed application should be notarized and returned to the attention of:
