Lumag has become a member of the IAAF in order to influence the legislation which could have an impact on the business.

The IAAF have been in operation since the 1930, although then working as the Motor Factors operation. The Federation offers a range of different opportunities for the companies that become members including access to merchandising and promotional workwear, fleet management solutions and the most up to date industry information and opportunities for networking. These opportunities include IAAF golf and cricket events that are held around the country over the course of the year, and the annual conference and awards ceremony that is held in December.
