Foundry Market

China boasts the largest number of foundry enterprises in the world, with the total in excess of 26,000 companies. China’s annual casting output contributes up 30% of the world total and plays a very important role in the casting chain as the biggest casting production country.

With the increase in the global economy, international casting purchasing activities are on the rise. “Made in China” is being widely accepted in the world market because of its low cost and high quality. This will allow us to seize this unique opportunity and allow Chinese foundry enterprises understand the overseas buyers’ goals and requirements.
