"Modern metalcasting is a $48 billion industry, producing highly engineered castings that are essential to our modern way of life,” said AFS CEO Doug Kurkul. “Our supply-chain security and national security both depend on a strong domestic metalcasting industry, which provides superb career opportunities. All of these messages are emphasized in the new video. We are grateful to FEF for partnering with us on this significant project."

In addition to the airings on PBS, the video will be made available as follows:
