We are 5 months away from the BRICS Foundry Forum and planning is underway to ensure that foundries in the BRICS countries benefit from this event. This year there will be a special focus on the Iron Casting Foundries of each country. Your foundry has been selected to participate in an international survey of iron foundries in BRICS countries.
Some of the survey may require input from your finance and human resources departments. You can save the survey and continue later if you need to gather information.
The purpose of the survey is to collect information on iron foundries in South Africa, Brazil, China, India and Russia so that different aspects of foundry operations can be compared to improve the sector and make it more competitive.
Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and no individual firms will be named in the survey, and your information will be coded and remain confidential, the objective is to develop a national average picture between the five countries. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Dominic Mitchell at +27 82 458 0760 or by email at [email protected]. You may also contact Paul Forsyth at +27832556468 or by email [email protected].
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
