The second Minasfund exhibition provided the perfect opportunity for Foseco Brazil to put on a show in one of Brazil’s major foundry areas. The exhibition took place in May at the Expominas centre in Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais. The show attracted foundrymen from all over Brazil, and visitor attendance figures were over 19,000.

Foseco NorAm Regional Sales Manager Dana Coulombe has been named Vice-President of the Foundry Education Foundation (FEF), the cast metals industry’s college educational programme. The position will see him taking on the Foundation President’s role in two years and comes after a number of years on the Board of Trustees of the FEF, where he has been the champion of its activities in Canada.
