Let us end this interesting exchange of ideas<br />

in Verona from the 21st to the 24th of June,<br />

2017,willbeheavilyorientedtowards<br />

foundries, die casting, productive digitalization<br />

and the 4.0 model of industry and foundry.<br />

Regarding this theme, the realization of a<br />

working model of a productive cell within the<br />

fairgrounds is being envisaged, in order<br />

to illustrate the concrete importance<br />

of automation in the manufacturing of<br />

automotive components made using foundry<br />

casts.WhatdoyouthinkaboutMetefandhow<br />

do you judge this type of initiative?<br />

The success of the die casting industry, considered as<br />

an integrated system, from the production of machines<br />

and plants to the end products, depends upon the efforts<br />

to increase the possible uses of aluminium casts<br />

and semis; the role of an international event such as<br />

Metef, which is a container of ideas and suggestions<br />

useful in the quest for process optimization and competitive<br />

production, is very important, indeed essential<br />

considering the competitive and often unfair threats<br />

that arrive from various parts of the world, in order to<br />

ensure a growing penetration of markets. We, as a company,<br />

also share with Metef the same corporate objective;<br />

actually, both in Fonderie Cervati’s description as<br />

well as in Metef’s, the concept of “Customized technology<br />

for the aluminium, foundry castings and innovative<br />

metal industry” is clearly underlined; this means<br />

that, to say the least, in the basic setup we follow similar<br />

pathways. We therefore strongly support this Italian<br />

exhibition for the global market, dedicated to a sector<br />

whichmakesupadrivingelementoftheeconomyofa<br />

large part of Italy’s industry; it is a shared desire that<br />

this process may continue, I therefore hope that the<br />

entire Italian foundry system will agree with this standpoint<br />

that certainly strengthens us in the international<br />

context.<br />

Regarding contents, I expect to find at Metef suggestions<br />

on the scenarios so as to interpret the economic<br />

growth of our industrial sector. Metef’s success is also<br />

the clear sign that the foundry system is mature, wants<br />

to grow, to discuss and to become a system, and feels<br />

its penetration of global markets.<br />
