Foundry-Planet warmly congratulates Mr. Taffin on his appointment and wishes him — as well as all partners in the French foundry industry — much success and continued strong collaboration!
Laurent Taffin emphasizes the vital role of ATF within the industry:
“Our goal is to support foundry professionals in France through training, information, and networking. The support of our members is of invaluable importance to us.”
About ATF (Association Technique de Fonderie)
Founded in 1911 at the initiative of technicians and engineers from the foundry and related industries, the ATF today brings together around 350 individual members and 50 corporate entities — including foundries, suppliers, customers, researchers, teachers, and students from both France and abroad.
As a founding member of the World Foundry Organization (WFO), the ATF serves as the technical link between the French foundry industry and the international community. It regularly participates in World Foundry Congresses, international commissions, and working groups.
