South African Metal Casting Conference March 2017
Held at the Emperor’s Palace in Johannesburg, the venues were well staged and attended by a wide section of the Foundry world. Max, the South African Partner/Agent for SYNCHRO ERP was in attendance with Jean-Marie Darchicourt , SYNCHRO ERP’s Partnership/Agent Liaison Manager. We had a wonderfully designed booth and were on hand to answer any questions from prospective Customers or simply curious visitors seeing our Software for the first time.
We received a lot of positive feedback about SYNCHRO ERP products during the conference and we will be following up on these over the coming weeks.
Overall the mood during the events was good and positive with Foundries looking forward to a challenging yet exciting future. Interestingly training and skills for foundries took centre stage during presentations and workshops at the conference.
We are most grateful for a well-staged great event and we also thank Mr John Davies’s team in making us all feel so welcome and well looked after. John has decided to take a well-earned rest and pass on his responsibilities to a new Chairman so we wish him a long and happy retirement and his successor all the very best for the future.
Many thanks from the SYNCHRO ERP Team

Forging Security: Why Cybersecurity Is Crucial in the Metal Casting Industry
In the age of Industry 4.0, metal casting is no longer just molten metal and molds—it’s a high-tech, data-driven process that relies on digital systems, automation, and connectivity. But with innovation comes vulnerability. As foundries embrace smart manufacturing, they also become prime targets for cyber threats. Cybersecurity isn’t just a tech issue—it’s a business survival strategy.
