WFO Technical Forum
The World Foundry Organisation (WFO) 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 resources 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 WFO hosts the World Foundry Congress (WFC) in collaboration with the national foundry association in respective countries every second year. Between congress years, the WFO organises an international Technical Forum (WFO-TF). South Africa is the host for the 2017 Technical Forum.
