Pakistan Foundry Association is established with the vision to provide a platform for the growth of the foundry industry by improving skills and up-grading technology with special emphasis on small and medium sized foundries. It will also be a data bank of relevant subjects of interest for those engaged in this business.

The importance of the foundry engineering industry cannot be over emphasized and the role it can play in the economic development of Pakistan with its high value adding possibilities. Members of the association are encouraged to develop a relationship that will promote and enhance cooperation, exchange of ideas and experience amongst the members.

After almost a decade of difficulties, the foundry industry in the country today is on the upswing. The order position in most foundries is good providing economies of scales as never before. The industry has suffered with increased material costs. This is the big challenge. Now the country recognizes the role of foundries in manufacturing and supply of critical castings of complicated shapes. It is therefore essential on our part to achieve prudent management resources to deliver casting at appropriate prices to ensure sustained growth. This approach is imperative if Pakistan has to become an indispensable hub for castings in the global market. Let WTO/SAFTA be an opportunity rather than a threat.

I would like to thank the foundry members for having taken the initiative to from this association. It is my pleasure to welcome the foundry members of the association and look forward to receive new members through out Pakistan .
