Apply now for the EUROPEAN FOUNDRY WOMEN’S AWARD 2022!

Like many other indus­tries, the foundry industry is con­sidered a male-dom­in­ated sec­tor. Nev­er­the­less, count­less women are work­ing in our foundries from pro­duc­tion and admin­is­tra­tion to research in all areas and are doing indis­pens­able work every day. What is daily routine and nor­mal­ity for indi­vidual col­leagues is an inspir­a­tion for young tal­ents. Role mod­els and stor­ies help to dis­pel pre­ju­dices and pro­mote the diversity of our industry, not only in terms of products, but also in terms of the people who take it to a new level. CAEF there­fore calls on you to par­ti­cip­ate in the new EUROPEAN FOUNDRY WOMEN’S AWARD!
