Work Together to Avoid Poor Timing 合作沟通,避免会议撞期


Before May 2014, I am sure that I was not the only


one who had to decide if I was going to the World Foundry Congress in Bilbao, Spain, or the Metals China in Beijing, which were held at the exact same time. Te entire metalcasting industry was struggling with these dates, which had been established long before, be- cause many were unable to find a reasonable solution for all interested experts. Te majority of representatives from the machinery and supplier companies decided for Metals China and the rest attended the Bilbao event. What a shame! Tere were almost 100,000 visitors in China and a number of remarkable personalities in Spain. But a lack of leadership existed in both locations. In times of prolonged growth, such as those in India or


Brazil, or political instability, like the situation in Ukraine that affects the rest of the world, it is not helpful to have two concurrent events held more than 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles) away from one another. Our global industry must come together and work together to solve our com- mon problems. Te casting industry is cautiously optimistic, as we


heard at the German Giesserei-Tag in Hamburg, Ger- many, where experts advised metalcasting facilities to prepare for global challenges and to invest in technology and machinery. Tis cautious optimism can be a good building block and should be a light for the global industry to push forward together.


2014年5月之前,我非常确信,我不是唯一一个需要 在西班牙毕尔巴鄂举办的世界铸造大会和同期在北京举 办的中国国际铸造博览会之间做出选择的人。 所有对这两个活动感兴趣的人因早已确定下来的会议 日期而难以抉择,很多人找不到一个可行的解决办法。 最后,大部分设备企业和供应商的代表决定参加Metal China,其他人选择前往毕尔巴鄂。 太遗憾了!


在中国,Metal China吸引了近10万观众,在西班牙 聚集了很多行业领袖,尽管如此,两个活动现场似乎仍 然缺少了应有的领导力。


对于现阶段发展缓慢的地区,如印度、巴西,或者政 局不稳定的乌克兰等来说,他们不一定会关注。但是, 对于全球其他地区铸造人来说,相隔一万公里的两个重 要会议同期举办,不是一件好事。全球铸造行业应该携 手合作,共同解决我们面对的问题。


尽管如此,我们应对铸造行业持谨慎乐观的态度,正 如我们在汉堡举办的德国铸造日活动上听到的,专家们 建议铸造业应做好应对全球挑战的准备,在技术和设备 方面加大投资。


谨慎乐观的态度对全球铸造业共同推进行业发展来说 是有利的,为行业发展点亮了希望。
