Spotlight On Metalcasting

When people think of jobs in metal casting, they might think of pouring metal, but there is much more to it than that. The industry has career paths in everything from engineering to sales to business management and offers well-paying jobs for post-college and post-high school graduates. It supports careers in metal casting facilities as well as in companies that support the industry through the supply of equipment, raw materials and services.

The mission of the American Foundry Society is to advance the success of its members and the metal casting industry through advocacy, education, and innovation.

A highly modern industry with ancient roots, metal casting is the backbone of the manufacturing economy. It is a $46 billion industry that provides nearly 490,000 U.S. jobs. The industry is central to a growing economy, modern infrastructure, and national defense. Moreover, metal casting provides excellent careers for those with the right skills.

90 percent of all manufactured goods contain some metal castings.

You are rarely more than 10 feet from a metal casting in the United States.
