Current members and partners of the AFRC

We’ve found that there are numerous benefits to being a tier two member of the AFRC, both from a technological and a marketing perspective. Access to the centre’s kit and its expertise, plus collaboration opportunities and having the opportunity to network with tier one members are all highly valuable to us as a leading coatings business.
