The casting industry of Japan has grown along with the automotive industry. It now faces an extremely difficult period, however, as the adoption of more light-weight materials and the reduction in domestic automobile production, have caused a dramatic decrease in casting production. Nevertheless, Japan's foundries have developed highly efficient production and recycling methods. Our goals must be expand the range of casting products by developing new commodities which make the most of our strengths, and enhance competitiveness by improving the efficiency of the production process. It is confident, that the foundry as a material processing industry can meet and successfully overcome these challenges and continue to develop into the 21st century and beyond.
