EUROGUSS 2022 on Track

The 61st IFC Portoroz 2021 with its Foundry Exhibition has once again confirmed that the foundry event is needed and desired. After a year of imprisonment due to the coronavirus, participants agreed that what is required is face-to-face social and professional contact since it cannot be replaced by video or online communication. That is why the Slovenian Foundrymen Society will be ecstatic to make Portoroz the meeting place of international foundry science and professionals again next year with the 62^nd IFC between 14 and 16 September 2022.
