Since 1986, in order to meet the needs of foundry enterprises to explore the international foundry market, China Foundry Association, with its keen sense of touch, took the lead in hosting the "China International Foundry, Forging and Industrial Furnace Exhibition". After 22 years' efforts, it has been successfully held for nine times, with more than 6,000 foundry enterprises from more than 30 countries and regions participating in the exhibition, with a total exhibition area of 260,000 square meters and more than 200,000 professional visitors. As the flagship exhibition of China Foundry, it is well deserved.
In the course of 22 years' development, China Foundry Association has successively built two international professional foundry exhibitions with independent brands, namely "China International Foundry Expo" and "China International Nonferrous and Special Foundry Exhibition", striving to build a more professional international platform for exchanges and transactions.

As an intermediary between Chinese and foreign foundry enterprises, China Foundry Association has established and maintained long-term and stable friendly cooperative relations with more than 800 trade organizations and enterprises in 38 countries and regions, including the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan and India. Providing technical and business consulting services, organizing international technical exchanges and business fairs, organizing international business visits, coordinating international import and export trade and receiving international visits play an important role in promoting exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and foreign foundry enterprises.
