ForgeFinder.com to Participate in Chinese Metalforming Industry Congress in Beijing, P.R. China, from October 20 – 24, 2001

        (Manassas,Virginia) ForgeFinder.com, the first and only e-commerce marketplace dedicated to the forged metals industry, today announced that it will participate in the upcoming Congress of the Confederation of the Chinese Metalforming Industry in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China, from October 20 – 24, 2001.

        Keen Butcher, ForgeFinder's President will be leading the company’s delegation at the Congress. Mr. Butcher noted that "the Chinese forging industry has a wealth of highly qualified forge shops that need a venue to access customers outside of the People's Republic of China. ForgeFinder is the ideal venue to introduce their capabilities to global buyers. ForgeFinder has already assembled online the world's premier group of forging manufacturers. China has a significant number of high quality forge shops who should be included in that group and who should be supplying manufacturers worldwide. We want to give our valued forging buyers access to the great quality product coming from China.

        It is anticipated that over 400 participants from over 350 Chinese companies involved in the metalforming industry will be participating in the Congress, which will include a technical forum, an exposition of forging and metalforming technologies and a meeting of the Chinese forging industry directors.
