Safety is the priority of every metalcaster at every level of production. The AFS Safe Year Award, an annual accolade from the American Foundry Society, recognizes member facilities which have achieved stellar safety records.
The American Foundry Society submitted comments April 26 supporting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan. Citing “significant negative impacts on a broad range of industries, including the metalcasting industry,” AFS said it backed plans to repeal the agency’s carbon pollution emission guidelines for existing power plants.
Following a nationwide search, the American Foundry Society is pleased to announce the promotion of Steve Robison to chief technical services officer.
The American Foundry Society has launched a new website that serves the needs and advances the interests of the modern metalcasting industry. In aligning with the association’s strategic direction, the new afsinc.org now has a greater focus on several key elements: much-improved navigation for users, streamlined information about careers in metalcasting, a clear presentation of the economic importance of the industry to our modern quality of life, and one-stop access to information for casting designers and buyers.
The American Foundry Society has announced the 124th Metalcasting Congress will be held April 21-23, 2020, at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio. The last time Cleveland hosted the show was in 1974. Columbus was the last Ohio city to host the event, in 2012.
