Given an almost Frobenius manifold \((M, {\circ}_M,e_M,g_M)\), a real, or holomorphic, vector bundle \(\pi :V\rightarrow M\) with typical fibre endowed with a Frobenius algebraic structure \((V, {\circ}_V, e_V, g_V)\), a connection \(D\) and a map \(\alpha : V \rightarrow TM\), an almost Frobenius structure on the manifold \(V\) is constructed and conditions are investigated under which this structure is Frobenius. Then, in the case \(M\) is a semisimple Frobenius manifold with non-vanishing rotation coefficients, all positive definite Frobenius structures on \(V\) obtained in this way are described. In the case \(\pi :V\rightarrow M\) is a holomorphic vector bundle the author assumes that \(M\) has a real structure \(k_M\), the fibres of \(\pi\) have a real structure \(k_V\) and, by using \(k_M\), \(k_V\) and the connection \(D\), constructs a real structure \(k\) on the manifold \(V\). Conditions under which \(tt^*\)-equations hold for \(k\) and an almost Frobenius structure \((\circ, e_V, g)\) are investigated and it is proved that this gives high restrictions on the geometry of the base manifold. Also, various properties of adding variables to a Frobenius manifold are proved.
