Since January 1, Max Schumacher has been the sole Managing Director of the Federal Association of the German Foundry Industry.

Max Schumacher, who has held various positions in foundry associations for many years, is also Secretary General of the European Foundry Association CAEF: "I am very much looking forward to working on the future of the foundry industry in a newly established association. With the proven employees and new structures, the association will succeed even better than before."
