The World Foundry Organization is the recognised centre of strategic foundry knowledge, designed to develop, enhance and improve the production of metal castings; through the latest technical and sustainable industry practices.
Through the involvement of the member associations, in 30 countries the WFO creates a network of technical knowledge and resource that is a vital tool to every foundry association, foundry and foundry worker throughout the world.
The WFO is a neutral body that represents the collective needs of the members on a global stage.
The Principal and important elements of the WFO are:
Executives
Member organisation
Commissions
World Foundry Congresses and Technical Forums.
The fees for the WFO are calculated on the tonnage of castings produced in the country of the member associations
