In the global fight against COVID-19, metalcasters and their suppliers have proved essential. AFS Corporate Members are providing crucial services to support coronavirus relief, from manufacturing components for medical equipment and other essential products, to making donations and providing much-needed expertise.

Operating as essential businesses, metalcasters have implemented protective measures recommended by the CDC and OSHA, such as frequent sanitation, staggered shifts, and providing employees with all necessary personal protective equipment. Some foundries have even changed their production schedules to manufacture more essential goods while allowing for social distancing of their employees.
