The American Foundry Society is a non-profit professional society and trade association based in Schaumburg, Illinois, that supports the metalcasting sector through advocacy, education, and innovation. Its membership spans foundries, suppliers, and OEMs who design and produce engineered castings used across manufacturing and everyday life. Member foundries melt a range of metals, including iron, steel, copper, and aluminum, employing diverse metalcasting processes, with one technical division dedicated to the growing impact of 3D printing. The organization serves a broad community through corporate, individual, and student memberships, complemented by regional and student chapters. It maintains a program portfolio that facilitates industry knowledge sharing and ongoing research, supported by events throughout the year. In early 2026, the society announced a leadership transition, with Justin Scott appointed as chief executive officer following the retirement of long-time leader Doug Kurkul.
