Australia has been re-elected to the presidency of the Asian Aerosol Federation for a further three-year term.

The move came at the Federation’s 2017 annual meeting, held in Sydney in late March as part of the ‘aerosol2017’ event.

Federation president Lindsay Showyin said the vote was a reassuring endorsement of the direction and priorities taken during the federation’s first six years.

Founded in 2011, the federation brings together aerosol bodies from Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and Thailand with the aim of promoting the growth and prosperity of the aerosol industry across Asia and Oceania.

The agreement will see the two associations work together to share information and cooperate on a range of initiatives, including in the areas of sustainability and training.
