The Cast Metals Federation, CMF

The Cast Metals Federation is the voice for the UK cast metals industry, representing the best of British casting to organisations and individuals across the globe. With a membership in excess of 150 foundries and suppliers accounting for over 85% of the output of UK castings, our members produce over 2 billion pounds worth of castings in any size, shape, metal and weight using all casting processes annually. Cast Metals Federation is the single voice for the UK foundry industry and has been for over 20 years, having been formed from the merger of the three sector industry bodies (BFA, BICTA and LMFA). The CMF not only promotes the UK castings industry as a whole, it also influences discussions with government bodies and negotiates on UK and European legislation that affects us all. The CMF also sets out to inform and advise buyers of castings and component designers, providing a single source of information on the fundamentals of the various casting processes, guiding them to better castings from better suppliers. For industry, organisations and individuals across the globe, the CMF provides a single point of contact for the best of British casting, whether for casting enquiries or general information on the activities of the UK foundry industry for every application and market sector.
