INDUSTRY NEWS/行业新闻 The CAEF Council meeting took place at a challenging time. While costs for energy are skyrocketing everywhere in Europe, shortages of raw materials and scrap are putting the foundries under pressure. Furthermore, during the pandemic the availability of skilled workers and young foundry talents overall has not changed for the better. At the same time, the foundry industry, being the most integrated part of the circular economy and an enabler of industrial transformation, has a crucial role to play in achieving CO2 neutrality on our continent. The CAEF Council unanimously elected Chiara Danieli, CEO of Groupe Bouhyer, representing the Fédération Forge Fonderie, as the new CAEF President for the year 2022. Chiara Danieli carries the European idea in her genes and is enthusiastic in promoting it. The Italian-born visionary lives and works in France for many years and is very well connected in Europe. Fynn-Willem Lohe, who already has been interims Secretary General for one year, was confirmed as Secretary General during the two days meeting. Danieli and Lohe share above all else the motivation to emphasise the essential role of the European foundry industry in politics and society even more strongly and actively than before.
这个时代的许多其他挑战并没有停止。
