55. International Foundry Conference 2015 in Portoroz/Slovenia


When Slovenian Foundrmen´s President Mirjam Jan-Blazic sends invites to come to Portoroz right on the Mediterranean Sea, there is always a rush to join this convenient place. This year`s event was the 55. International Foundry Conference followed by an estimated 250 participants from Slovenia and 15 other countries.

We have met many foundrymen and suppliers as well as leading representatives from the field of foundry, such as Max Schumacher (BDG, Germany), Prof. Peter Schumacher (ÖGI, Austria),Prof. Rüdiger Bähr (Universität Magdeburg), Dr. Adel Nofal (Egypt), Prof. Primoz Mrvar (Ljubljani) and Prof. Alojz Krizman (Maribor), Prof.Reinhard Döpp (Clausthal) and Andrew Turner (WFO).

It is the mixture of ambitious lectures, networking and exchange of information from diverse levels, as universities meet engineers, engineers meet suppliers and vice versa. This is what makes Portoroz so alive as well as the opportunity to get in contact with colleagues from South-East Europe.

While the content is always state of the art, there is one traditional item of the agenda. To be put out to sea on a boat along the Slovenian coast together with colleagues, customers and friends. This is a must!

European Foundrymen would only have to take part at least once and then they will come back again.

Appreciating the Slovenian hospitality and organization, we are looking forward to the 56. International Foundry Conference in Portoroz, taking place from 14. to 16. September 2016
