Philippine Metalcasting Assoication Incorporated - Quezon City, Philippines

The concept of organizing the foundry industry in the Philippines was born in mid-1958 when J. Hermes D. Bautista was as student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison (UW - Madison). There he became a member at the world-famous American Foundrymen's Society (AFS) and there he had the opportunity to attend the one-week AFS Annual Convention held in Cleveland, Ohio that year.
