WATERLOO, ON, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletica Sport
Systems Inc., CIMCO Refrigeration (a division of Toromont
Industries Limited), Jet Ice Limited and Zamboni Company Ltd. are
announcing the formation of the International Rink Manufacturers
Association ("IRMA").
Owners and operators of ice arenas face mounting challenges with
rising costs, aging infrastructure, and the need for strategic
asset planning. The four companies formed the organization to
safeguard and advance the future of venues that are home to ice
sports around the world.
The companies' collective vast knowledge of the industry as a
whole and their complementary assortment of products and services
ensure that the group is uniquely qualified to represent the best
interests of rink operators, no matter the scale of their
facility's operation or the limit to resources.
In an industry where recruiting, training, and retaining skilled
personnel is difficult, a focus of this organization will be to
provide continuous learning opportunities, fostering professional
growth. The members of IRMA
already showcase their industry leadership as it relates to
training and development, with individual courses brought to the
arenas and their employees to ensure consistency with product
operation and reinforce best practices.
IRMA will work to pursue
meaningful and measurable solutions for an industry faced with
finding eco-friendly solutions to minimize its impact.
Collaborating with government leaders and municipalities alike to
develop and leverage incentives for sustainable practices will
bring financial value to the rink level, allowing further adoption
of products and services which will save time, money, and
resources.
