What Foundry Management & Technology does

Foundry Management & Technology (FM&T) is a B2B trade publication that has served the foundry and diecasting industries continuously since 1892, providing news, technical information, industry trends, and supplier discovery tools to managers, operators, researchers, designers, purchasing personnel, and process control staff across metalcasting operations. The publication operates a multi-channel content platform anchored by foundrymag.com and complemented by eNewsletters, white papers, webinars, and the Great Question Podcast, with distribution extended through LinkedIn and Twitter/X (@FoundryMag).

Its core product portfolio includes the Foundry Management & Technology Magazine (the flagship trade title), the Great Question Podcast, the Industry Buyer's Guide/Directory (a searchable database of suppliers and service providers in the metalcasting market), and the annual Metalcasting Outlook Survey (a proprietary Business Outlook Survey portraying current conditions for foundries and diecasters). The underlying technology is a digital media publishing platform organized around editorial verticals such as Melting and Pouring, Mold and Coremaking, IT and Simulation, Shakeout and Handling, and Treatment and Finishing.

The business model is B2B advertising and sponsored content monetization, with a Media Kit distributed via EndeavorB2B (manufacturing.endeavorb2b.com). Subscription pricing is not publicly disclosed. FM&T operates as part of Endeavor Business Media, and the website footer references the EndeavorB2B brand, indicating an affiliated corporate relationship; however, the precise legal ownership structure is not explicitly disclosed in the available source data. Customer segments are vertical — metalcasting industry professionals and the suppliers that serve them.
