Artworks Foundry

Dear Foundry Friends! We’d like to share some exciting news about Artworks. We are entering a new phase in our 45-year history, as Piero is beginning a well deserved break from the daily operations of running the foundry. He has worked tirelessly for many years to make Artworks one of the top foundries in the country. And, he is now putting ownership of the foundry in very capable hands. Kambiz Mehrafshani, our current chief operations officer, has become an invaluable leader... here in the last year and a half, and worked with Piero for 3 years as the liaison with San Diego Zoo’s Rex The Lion projectthe largest bronze in Artwork’s history. Julian Mussi has an impressive career as an entrepreneur starting, running, and selling successful companies. He just coincidentally happens to be Piero’s son! They will both be leading and steering Artworks Foundry into the future. If you haven’t met Kambiz or Julian, we welcome your visit to get acquainted. Be assured that Piero is not disappearinghe will be keeping an eye on this younger generation and help whenever and wherever he is needed. We think you’ll agree that after many years of hard work he deserves to enjoy life outside of the day-to-day hustle and bustle of running a business. What we are planning is a renewed energy and efficiency brought to the quality of our work and the client relationships that make Artworks such a special place. It is this relationship with you, our customers, that makes Artworks the unique and successful business it has become. Kambiz will oversee the large, special projects and Julian will be handling the production side of the foundry. Tom will continue as Sales Manager and will handle pricing and new orders and all the rest of the staff will be here to continue the quality and timeliness you have come to expect. In fact, now would be a great time to place that order for your next masterpiece! We want to thank all of you for your many years of trust in us, and we look forward to many more to come. This is another exciting chapter in the continuing story of Artworks Foundry. Sincerely, Artworks Foundry

Thank you, Daniella and Mike. Love and light .
