The Non-Ferrous Founders’ Society (NFFS) is a North American trade association founded in 1943 that represents aluminum, brass, and bronze foundries and ingot manufacturers. Based in Park Ridge, Illinois, the organization serves a community of metalcasting facilities that employ a range of processes, including sand, permanent mold, investment, continuous cast, centrifugal, and die-casting, with aluminum and copper-alloy casting forming the core activity. NFFS supports its members through quality system initiatives—most notably the NQS9000 metalcasting quality framework introduced in the 1990s—and through a registrar service (NQSR) that focuses exclusively on cast metals, providing low-cost QMS registration and related quality-management resources. Recent developments include the addition of new member companies and the initiation of technical programs and partnerships intended to enhance quality, reliability, and competitiveness across the U.S. non-ferrous foundry industry. The organization targets foundries and ingot manufacturers within the non-ferrous sector, offering governance, standards, and industry-specific guidance to help members address quality assurance and process improvement challenges.
