Mr. Wang from Foundry-Suppliers.Com pointed out in his opening presentation that the downstream industry of castings has experienced a very weak demand and a decline in casting orders. Some buyers are in the process of reducing the travel costs of the procurement department, even arrange for compulsory vacations and layoffs. The continuous development of environmental protection policy is a challenge for most casting manufacturers! Some high quality companies continue to strive to maintain technological innovation, enhance their core competencies and optimize their customer structure.

The 201909 version, in addition to the basic information of the company participating in the casting supplier, also focuses on the foundry certification system, single weight range, single piece size, machining, heat treatment capacity, annual production, annual export value and other information which purchases interested in.
