President of the Shanxi Foundry Industry Association Wang Lucai emphasized the importance of strategic partnership: “We see great potential in combining the scientific and engineering expertise of our countries. We are confident that cooperation with NUST MISIS will provide a strong impetus for joint high-tech projects in metallurgy, foundry production, and mechanical engineering, as well as for sustainable technological development in both China and Russia.”
The Shanxi Foundry Industry Association is a regional, non-profit industry organization that serves as a bridge between foundry enterprises and government authorities. Founded in 1987, the Association became one of the first professional organizations to receive a 4A-level group status — the highest evaluation category for public associations in China. Its activities are supervised by the Shanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and the Department of Civil Affairs.
