Every issue of FM&T ought to bring value to our readers, but in the issue we've recently mailed the value is more explicit. Every year we choose our August issue to spotlight the Casting Industry Suppliers Association, and we invite CISA members to promote their strengths and accomplishments in our pages. They are, in fact, as much a part of the industry we cover as the metalcasting operations, because they are frequently the origin of the technical innovations that keep metalcasting vital, vibrant, and advancing.

For an industry like metalcasting, indeed any industry where new developments are the result of equal parts experience and creativity, a willingness to accept challenges and move forward with confidence is invaluable.

Metalcasters benefit because these product and equipment suppliers accept that responsibility.
Just as important, the companies, particularly those represented by CISA, make every issue of FM&T possible by their support — and that is an additional service to the metalcasting industry because it allows us to deliver every issue to our readers at no charge.

Please thank them for their support.
