NEW CAEF PRESIDENT CHIARA DANIELI WITH FULL AGENDA IN KEY YEAR FOR EUROPEAN FOUNDRY INDUSTRY

Issued at 2022-01-25



The new year 2022 will be an important one for the European foundry industry. On the one hand, Covid-19 infection figures, supply bottlenecks and energy costs determine daily business and affect the important recovery of the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, decisive European and global parameters are being set for the future of the industry. Chiara Danieli's CAEF presidency, which began at the turn of the year, is focusing on these fundamental and forward-looking aspects.

At the turn of the year, the CAEF presidency passed from Ignacio De la Peña to Chiara Danieli. Ms Danieli has already set ground-breaking accents in the preparation for her presidency. In addition to the current challenges regarding the availability of raw materials and costs of energy, there is no lack of strategic demands she will have to push forward together with the CAEF General Secretariat and in close alignment with other European foundry associations. The transformation of the entire European industry with regards to climate change is manifold and affects our industry directly as well as indirectly. Recent policymaking demands our involvement and hence CAEF opens the dialogue with corresponding decision-makers as top-priority in 2022. Looking at the upcoming foundry-talents generation, it is also crucial to substantially increase our recognition as pioneers of circular economy in politics and society at large.
