Metal Casting Conference in South Africa
Highly interesting papers from international experts presented
Füssen, 03.04.2013 (PresseBox) - Great concept, interesting papers, beautiful venue, charming hospitality and a tough schedule, that was the overwhelming impression of about 200 delegates joining the MCC.
May be it was a creative idea to gather foundry experts from South African foundries, universities and suppliers together with professionals from all over the world in a “bush lodge” surrounded by wild animals. So nobody escaped and the intensity of exchange and discussion was remarkable. The concept of MCC following the BRICS Conference meant, that the participants remained together and guaranteed a great audience for every speaker.
For sure South Africa is not a leading producer of castings, but the challenges in foundry industry are comparable with the rest of the world and they also have real potentials and advantages.
Starting with a Think Tank about current changes in the foundry industry, we had the chance to profit from excellent papers presented by suppliers to the industry, universities, scientists and Foundrymen.
We like to invite you to have a look to the survey of the topics. If you are interested in more information, please get in contact and ask for the reports.
