I’m getting started this week as senior editor for the American Foundry Society’s publications. My background is in manufacturing business magazines covering a variety of industries. Most recently, I worked for a national publication serving commercial printers. That experience took me to a couple of different metalcasting facilities in Germany, which cast the press iron for machinery used to print magazines such as Metal Casting Design & Purchasing.

It’s a fascinating process, and I’m looking forward to meeting many of you and learning more about the industry. If you’d like to reach me, I am available at dkapel@afsinc.org.

See you on the casting beat—Denise Kapel
