Registration Open for Metalcasting Congress
“ The American Foundry Society announces attendee I’m very satisfi ed with
my long-term print advertis- ing program in MCDP—it’s the only advertising I do. It gives me great visibility and name recognition, both with existing customers and with new ones. And the steady fl ow of new business it brings in easily justifi es the investment.

Kevin Evers President St. Louis Precision Casting
