----In recent 10 years, with the rapid development of China's economy, the heart of consuming and production for the global metal industry had been shifted to China. In 2005 the volume of crude steel production reached 3.493615 hundred million tons, and 16 million tons for total production of non-ferrous metal in China, which ranks first in the world in recent years. At the same time, China has been the center of research, exchange, cooperation and development for the global metal industry. Especially Shanghai, the business center of China, it has its advantage for geographical location, good transport facilities, dynamic exchanges with the international, flourishing economy and trade, and huge demand and supply for the market. It's one of the largest collecting and distributing center for trade, and the biggest metal consuming market and the processing center in China and even in South Asia.
----Non-Ferrous & Special Casting Conference held in Shanghai will definitely attract all merchants related to promote enterprises' image, to display their products, to exchange technology, to negotiate business and to seek co-operation. It will have positive role to enhance technology exchange and cooperation among international metal industry, to give impetus to the technology innovation of Chinese metal industry, and to accelerate the development of China and world iron and steel industry, non-ferrous industry and relative industry.
It is the forth time that CHINA INTERNATIONAL NON-FERROUS AND SPECIAL CASTING CONFERENCE has been held in Shanghai since 1998. The professionals are 308, 348, 356 and 231 respectively.
----The professionals will assemble in Shanghai from September 2nd to 4th, 2007, to deliberate the way of independence and innovation in the field of non-ferrous and special casting, and the new trend, new demand of Chinese foundry industry during the period of the Eleventh Five-year Plan.
