TCMA History
A group of Foundrymen met at the
DFW Hilton Hotel on November 6, 1992, to organize the Texas Cast Metals
Association. Officers were elected and an executive director hired.
Work began establishing a nonprofit corporation for the purpose of promoting
the common interests of the Texas Metal Casting Industry. Articles of incorporation,
bylaws and other administrative details were accomplished, and by January
1, 1993, the Texas Cast Metals Association, Inc. was in operation.
The association has now changed the way regulatory agencies in the state
of Texas think about the metal casting industry. The organization continues
to work diligently to effect legislative action and improve communications
with elected officials in Austin and Washington, D.C.
The Texas Cast Metals Association is eager to serve its members and preserve
our Industry in Texas. It is very important that we keep this association
active for the foundry industry. The officers and directors invite your
foundry and any supplier of the foundry industry to join this organization.
Please contact the Executive Director for how you can become a member.
