In the decades since entering the Chinese market, Calderys has continuously expanded its scale and business. The company regards Metal China as an important platform for brand and product promotion and business negotiation. In 2023, it coincided with the independence of Calderys from the French IMERYS Group and becoming part of Platinum Company. Then, it was strategically integrated into Harbison Walker International (HWI). Calderys China presented a new image at the expo. Calderys China and S&B Bentonite (Chaoyang) jointly held the "Calderys Technology Day" and presented the One Stop Shop Solution for the foundry industry. All the activities were marked with full success, and the exhibition yielded fruitful results. We hope to engage in more exchanges and cooperation with China Foundry Association in the future, using high-quality refractory materials and bentonite products and solutions to support the high-quality development of China's foundry industry. --Calderys China Co., Ltd. and S&B Bentonite (Chaoyang) Co., Ltd. 

This year marks the 21st China International Foundry Expo, and also the 21st time that Sinto Group has participated. The expo was fuelled with more professionalism: the exhibition portfolio is rich, the international level of visitors has been significantly improved, and it really reflects its position as a “wind vane” of the industry. By participating in the exhibition, we not only showcase the advanced foundry equipment, processes, and high-quality service concepts, but also reach out to our global customers. We hope that under the leadership of China Foundry Association, Metal China will be better and better in the future. At the same time, we also wish the Chinese foundry industry prosperity and success. --Qingdao Sinto Machinery Co., Ltd.

China International Foundry Expo (Metal China), founded by the China Foundry Association, has a development history of 37 years and is at a world-class level in terms of exhibition scale, industry status, and internationalism. CBMM and CITIC Metal made their debut in 2023. Although it was our first participation, the results exceeded expectations: we built relationships with more Chinese enterprises, and saw more opportunities. Metal China is an effective platform for our company to explore the Chinese market. The Chinese foundry market is vast, and so are the prospects for cooperation between China and Brazil. We attach great importance to the Chinese market and hope to establish cooperation with more Chinese enterprises in the future through the high-end platform, and achieve mutual benefit with complementary advantages. We look forward to meeting you at the next exhibition. –CBMM

We got a lot of information and many suppliers for our business from Metal China 2023. There are a lot of factories and agents with steel raw materials we are finding. Hoping to participate in the next event. --Thailand Visitors

We have achieved our goals as expected. China has developed exceptionally rapid in recent years. Over the past three years, although there have been signs of decline in the manufacturing industry, it has provided more space for high-end enterprises to rise through industrial integration. Technically, the independently developed products in China’s foundry industry have emerged at a fast pace and at low cost, which has better stabilised China's position as a leading foundry nation. At the same time, the strong demand for new products and processes from various foundry enterprises has also drawn more attention of the world to the Chinese market. --Japan Visitors

It was good. We achieved all the goals we had set out to do. Overall, I think it was an eye opening experience. We're in the process of negotiating some deals, mostly for raw materials, but there's some for machinery as well. Thank you for the top-notch service. --Vietnam Buyers
