WHY USE CASTINGS?

We depend upon castings for all aspects of modern life. Without castings there would be no cars, no aeroplanes, no wind energy turbines, or trains.  Pumps and valves are castings as well as many household items, not to mention castings in the world of art.  Casting is here to stay.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP

CMF represents Members’ interests at local, regional, national and international levels, promoting the UK foundry and casting industry, influencing discussions with government bodies and negotiating on the legislation that affects the industry, providing a range of tangible benefits to members.  Together we are stronger.
