World-leading trade fair quartet welcomes the international foundry and metallurgical industries to Düsseldorf, Germany again in 2027.
The new dates for the GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST trade fairs have been set. The leading international trade fairs of the industry will present themselves at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre from 21 to 25 June 2027. Commenting on this, Malte Seifert, Director of GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST at Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, says: “We are delighted to have found dates in early summer that have already proven their worth in the past. The Bright World of Metals is and will remain the absolute highlight for the metallurgy and foundry sectors worldwide.”
The five-day duration of the fair with its tried-and-tested weekday schedule will remain unchanged. “The trade fair dates were chosen in close consultation with our association and conference partners and will also allow us in 2027 to organise the most relevant marketplace for the international foundry and metallurgy industries with many visitors from all over the world,” adds Malte Seifert.
Until the next edition of GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST, there will be continuous reports on industry trends and market developments on the respective trade fair portals as well as on LinkedIn and Facebook. In addition, as part of the ecoMetals initiative, the constant developments of the companies around the topics of sustainability, energy and resource efficiency, decarbonisation as well as circular economy in the foundry and metal industry will also be highlighted in the interim years.
The Bright World of Metals comprising the trade fairs GIFA (16th International Foundry Trade Fair with Technical Forum), METEC (12th International Metallurgy Trade Fair with Congresses), THERMPROCESS (14th International Trade Fair and Symposium for Thermoprocess Technology), and NEWCAST (7th International Trade Fair for Castings with NEWCAST Forum) is considered the pioneering platform for trends and technological innovations in the metallurgy and foundry technology sectors the world over. Registering 2 188 exhibitors and 63 262 visitors from 116 countries the trade fair quartet consolidated its position as the global market leader in this important sector of industry in 2023. Especially the hot topics ecoMetals, circular economy and Artificial Intelligence met with great interest among trade visitors. Likewise, the themes of lightweight construction and innovative manufacturing technologies played a prominent role, as highlighted not least during the ecoMetals-Trails.
The Bright World of Metals offers the almost complete world range in the areas of foundry and melting plants, refractory technology, plants and machinery for mould and core production, moulding materials and moulding supplies, model and mould making, control technology and automation, environmental protection and waste disposal as well as information technologies.
