  Presidents Message for ALUCAST 2010  
     
 
 
 

The tiny seed of an idea sown in 1995 has now grown into ALUCAST due to your dedication and active support of the industry.

At the outset I must thank all the members for electing me to the august office of the President of ALUCAST. I can only assure you that with your full hearted involvement and support we can together take this association to greater heights.

Keeping in mind India's growing contribution to the world production of aluminium castings, the theme of this year's Asia Pacific Aluminium Conference 2010 has been kept "Going Global".

 
     
 

The conference will be about all the technologies involved in the production of aluminium castings. Aluminium has been projected as the metal of the future due to its advantages in allowing designers to reduce component weight and contribute to a greener world by reducing overall energy consumption.

In the last decade, the aluminium die casting industry in India has seen a transformation in terms of adoption of latest manufacturing technologies, world class infrastructure, consistent quality and quantities being delivered at a competitive price. No doubt, all the major international OEMs are buying from India for their domestic as well as export requirements.

Exposure to world class technologies and industry is one of the best ways to achieve global standards of quality. This will be facilitated by the Buyer-seller meet organised with the intention of bringing both buyer and seller to one location for better interaction.

The papers to be presented at the conference will cover the technical, commercial and managerial aspects of efficiently running an aluminium casting enterprise. I am sure all our members and other delegates to the conference will be vastly benefitted by this conference.

The concurrent exhibition with over 100 stalls will showcase many products of use to the aluminium casting industry.

ALUCAST recognizes that human resources with the right technical skills is key to the success of the Industry. In the past ALUCAST has contributed to this by organising training programmes for supervisory personnel. We have taken this a step further by having as one of our regular features the organising of a "Students Day", this will encourage fresh graduates to explore employment opportunities and allow employers to recruit new talent to the industry.

We are confident that the conference will be of great benefit to all the participants and look forward to your support in making it a resounding success.

It is my wish that the younger generation takes the lead in shaping the future of our association. We will encourage new ideas; strive for more cordial relations and fruitful interaction amongst all members.

Interacting with the government agencies is the need of the hour and will be high on our list of priorities. For this we will require systematic data collection about the industry and we will attempt it with full vigour.

I wish to make ALUCAST a real world class association, and it is possible. What we need is your help, suggestions, concrete, committed and active participation in all our activities.

With best wishes
