The latest foundry to join the Cast Metals Federation is Ryobi Aluminium Casting (UK) Limited. Based in Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland, the company produces diecastings for the automotive sector and brings almost 80 years of world class expertise to the European market, serving customers needs not only in Japan and Europe, but also in the USA, China and Mexico.
Christine McGrath, Materials Manager for Ryobi said, “We recognise that as a significant player in the UK casting industry, we should be Members of the Cast Metals Federation. We are looking forward to working with our fellow Members to drive forward the UK castings industry at a time of significant challenge.”
“We are delighted to welcome Ryobi into membership,” said Pam Murrell, CEO of the Cast Metals Federation. “The automotive industry in particular is undergoing a period of change, with the continuing move towards hybrid & electric vehicles, as well as a greater use of aluminium to achieve light weighting and fuel efficiencies so having Ryobi’s input on these topics will be invaluable to us.
