"With investment casting furnaces installed in over 6 countries we owe a lot to the Investment Casting Institute for connecting the world to technology with their constant support," Kevin Finnery stated.
Supporting the Industry In 1986, Armil CFS manufactured and donated a burnout /preheat furnace to the Casting Metals Institute in Des Plaines, IL. This foundry was a hands on training facility for over 2,700 foundrymen annually, promoting education and training. Now the furnace is at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas and still serves the up and coming students.
