ALUCAST 2011, a big success
A
LUCAST 2011, or-
ganised by the Alu-
minium
Casters
Association of India, Delhi
Centre, recently proved a
big success, providing a
much-needed platform for
knowledge-sharing for the
die-casting fraternity. With
its theme ‘Optimization of
Die-Casting Processes’, the
event witnessed a very good
turnout of interested die-
casters.
The inaugural session of the con-
ference was presided over by Mr.
Ujjwal Munjal, Executive Direc-
tor, Rockman Industries Ltd., as
the Chief Guest and Dr. Bernhard
Fritsche, President Die-casting,
Buhler Druckguss AG, was the
Guest of Honour. Mr. P.N. Sadhu,
Technical Advisor, Sunbeam Auto
Ltd. and Patron, ALUCAST 2011
was a pillar of strength and wisdom
at the event. He shared his multi-
decade experience in the die-casting
industry, stressing on the need for
advancement in die-casting tech-
nology and want of more dedicated
workers to sustain the industry.
Addressing the inaugural session,
Mr. Munjal said: “Today growth
in India is driven by rural prosper-
ity, rapid urbanisation and a young
thriving population. Die-casting is a
capital-intensive business and, over
the years, capital has become scarce
and expensive. Most aluminium die-
Ours is an industry with a set of
unique opportunities and chal-
lenges, and I am sure we can set
higher goals, aspirations and
targets for ourselves.
