Aluminium Federation of South Africa (AFSA)

The Aluminium Federation of South Africa is the voice of, and the gateway to, the South African aluminium industry. AFSA’s members are companies operating in any sector of the industry that covers the full range of activities from primary aluminium production, through secondary smelting, semi-conversion, casting, fabrication, extrusion, distribution and surface finishing.

The South African aluminium industry is focused on:

• Growing and developing a co-operative and outward orientated industry;
• Being well promoted both in terms of the material (aluminium) and the industry; and
• Adding downstream value.

The purpose of AFSA is to promote the use of aluminium and the Southern African aluminium industry, both regionally and internationally and in doing so, to represent and defend the interests of its members.

The key roles of the Federation, and the sector Associations acting under the aegis of AFSA, are to:

• Facilitate, assist and support growth initiatives (in an enabling climate for all stakeholders) both regionally and internationally.
• Promote the awareness of aluminium, its application and promote the aluminium industry with input from the industry role players.
• Assist and participate in knowledge diffusion and transfer:
  – generic technology
  – product development
  – information and statistics
  Via working linkages / synergies (often working with champions).
• Facilitate and advise in areas of education and training at appropriate levels.
• Make mandated representations for the industry on relevant matters and especially key national issues.

Sector Associations – the corner stones of the Federation
AFSA’s approximately 150 members are grouped into one or more industry sector Associations. Association members meet on a regular basis to discuss areas of common interest, within the limitations imposed by the Competitions Act. Typical programs include market research, sector promotion, marketing and education, workshops, seminars, standards’ development and government liaison regarding trade practices, duties and incentives. Each Association has their own budget and appoints a chairman who represents that Association on the AFSA Executive Committee.

There are currently four active sector Associations in AFSA and these are:
• ACA – Aluminium Casters Association
• AFA – Aluminium Fabricators Association
• ASPA – Aluminium Sheet Products Association
• ASFA – Aluminium Surface Finishers Association

AFSA has a well defined marketing strategy, the main focus of which covers generic promotion of aluminium – alongside co-ordinating the promotional activities of the various Associations, plus the development of commercial material such as the Industry Directory, and training and education publications.

Mark Krieg and Rentia Malan will be on the stand.

Over the years, the Institute has been a leader in technology transfer and technical education in the metal casting sector. Skills and apprentice training in the Gauteng and other regions is being presented at various venues and a new training centre, the Gauteng Foundry Training Centre, was launched in 2013 for the training of patternmakers, moulders and melters. More than twenty apprentices are currently receiving training at the centre.

Aims of the SAIF
The main aim of the SAIF is to promote and develop within Southern Africa the science, technology and application of metal casting and foundry work for individuals and involved industries through:

• Appropriate skills development, training and education
• Dissemination of relevant information and knowledge
• Building cooperation and fellowship within the industry and institutional partners
• Developing and promoting career awareness to attract talented technical and business leaders for the future

The SAIF also represents the metal casting industry in common challenges and initiatives with government, municipal and other local authorities, state owned organisations, educational authorities and the standards authorities on all matters within its mandate.

In partnership with the tertiary and other institutions, other associations and the National Foundry Technology Network (NFTN) the SAIF is active in assisting foundries to become more technologically aware and globally competitive. Projects aimed at energy saving, recycling, simulation modelling and lean manufacturing are in progress. Joint projects are undertaken with several government agencies to further the scope and opportunities to grow the foundry industry and create employment in the country.

Benefits offered to members of the SAIF
Education and Training: Realising the need for both operator / artisan and technical training for the industry, the Institute is committed to on-going development of knowledge and skills courses and seminars in conjunction with both local and overseas institutes.
