Feedback from BRICS – China Beijing

John Davies (CEO) represented the South African foundry industry at the recent BRICS Forum and exhibition from 9th – 11th May 2012 in Beijing. Other members of industry were Adrie El Mohamadi from NFTN, Farouk Varachia (University of Johannesburg) and Dr Xi Pan (University of Johannesburg). John’s presentation on Practical Application on Improving Energy Efficiency in Foundries is available on the SAIF website.

One of the positive outcomes of the visit to China was the successful negotiations for South Africa to host the 2013 BRICS Forum which will be hosted in conjunction with the Metal Casting Conference 2013, which takes place at Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge, Pilansberg in North West Province from 13th to 16th March 2013.
