La Fédération Forge Fonderie a co-rédigé avec le CETIAT, GRDF, Allice, le CETIM et GRTgaz un Guide de bonnes pratiques énergétiques et de décarbonation en forge et fonderie (téléchargeable ici 6,7Mo).
Ce guide est constitué de 18 fiches actions réparties en deux thématiques : des actions techniques sur les fours et outils de chauffe et des actions organisationnelles ou de conception. Les fiches sont conçues pour être très opérationnelles et visent à aider les équipes de terrain et de direction à engager des actions simples et à faible coût d’investissement en faveur de l’efficacité énergétique et de la décarbonation de leurs procédés.
Au sommaire :
Actions techniques sur les fours et outils de chauffe
Entretien des échangeurs de chaleur pour limiter l’encrassement
Mesures organisationnelles ou de conception

EFF Annual Report – Europe’s Key Players
Available for download here The 2024 annual report of the European Foundry Federation (EFF) provides a comprehensive overview of the European foundry industry in a particularly challenging economic context. The year 2024 was marked by a widespread slowdown in industrial activity across Europe, affecting both ferrous and non-ferrous foundries. Total foundry production declined significantly due to a drop in demand from key customer sectors – automotive, construction, mechanical engineering, and industrial equipment – combined with high energy costs, increased regulatory pressure, and stronger international competition. Ferrous foundries were the most affected, while the non-ferrous segment showed greater resilience, although it too experienced a decline. The report also highlights the social and structural consequences of this situation: workforce reductions, site closures, and ongoing investment pressures. Despite these challenges, the foundry industry remains a strategic link in European industrial value chains, essential for the energy transition, infrastructure, mobility, and industrial sovereignty. Through this directory and statistical analysis, the EFF reaffirms its role as a reference for sector knowledge and its commitment to a competitive, resilient, and sustainable European foundry industry. ForgeFonderie France fully aligns with this dynamic as an active member of the European federation. Reports of the Countries |
