• The American Metalcasting Consortium - Cost & Leadtime Reduction
  
  
  • The American Metalcasting Consortium is a partnership between the Defense Logistics Agency and broad metalcasting industry as represented by 5 technical organizations: American Foundrymen's Society, North American Die Casting Association, Non-Ferrous Founders' Society, Steel Founders' Society Of America, and The Ferroally Association. AMC's society partners represent a vast variety of large and small foundries. They are working together under the management of the Advanced Technology Institute to reduce cost, cut leadtimes, and improve the quality of metalcast parts.
    
    
• Non-Ferrous Founders' Society - a trade association representing aluminum and copper-based foundries in the United States.
  
  
  • Foundry Search Page - This search engine was developed at least partially with the use of governmental funds through a collective foundry effort developed by the American Metalcasting Consortium (AMC). The AMC is comprised of six foundry industry associations, with the intent of furthering the metalcasting industry through partnerships with entities such as the defense logistical agency.

  • Die Casting Shaping America's Future - America's most fundamental industry, metal casting, continues to play a critical role in the success of U.S. manufacturing through the production of the high quality castings. In fact, castings are used in 90% of all finished manufactured products. As an important segment of the larger metal casting industry, die casting produces over one-third of all metal castings. Today, over 400 die casters manufacture thousands of non-ferrous castings: from automobile engine and transmission parts; to intricate components for computers and medical devices; or a desk stapler. Die casters contribute over $7.3 billion to the nation's economy annually and provide over 65,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
