An economic survey carried out by the Assofond study center on the third quarter of 2021 shows how the turnover of the foundry is still growing, even if less pronounced than the one in the first months of the year. In fact, 2% on the previous quarter is far from the + 12% recorded in the second quarter. The variables that affect the decrease are certainly the period, in which business activity is less intense, and the end of the post-covid rebound. However, there are positive signs: the visibility of orders is increasing sharply and the use of production capacity records an absolute value of 77.8%.
