The four-year German GIFA International Foundry Exhibition, NEWCAST International Casting Exhibition and the International Metallurgical Technology and Industrial Furnace Exhibition held at the same time were successfully opened in Dusseldorf at 10:00 am on June 12, 2023, German time .
The exhibition is hosted by Messe Dusseldorlf Exhibition Company in Germany and is held every four years. It is currently the world''s largest international metallurgical exhibition, metallurgy and heat treatment, metallurgical technology, mining metals, metal forming and furnaces and other special exhibitions. The German International Metallurgical Technology Exhibition and Conference (METEC) is the largest comprehensive metallurgical exhibition in the world. At the same time, the International Foundry Exhibition (GIFA), the International Thermal Processing Technology Exhibition (THERMPROCESS), and the International Casting Exhibition (NEWCAST) were also held, so the overall scale is very large. This year''s exhibition also opened up a new exhibition area for metal products, focusing on the exhibition of various metal products. The above four major exhibitions are held at the same time. Although they belong to different industries, they are closely related, and you can visit all the exhibitions with only one ticket. The co-location of the Technology Forum with the four world-class exhibitions means that developments in all major supply markets, from basic technologies to finished products, can be fully understood.
The metallurgical fields involved in this exhibition include: production and refining of raw materials and basic materials, iron and steel production, non-ferrous metals, casting, electric furnace steelmaking, measurement, environmental protection, consulting design and services, etc. Due to changes in exhibit content, the audience of this exhibition will also expand, in addition to coming from steel mills, metal processing, non-ferrous metal processing plants, steel users and steel refineries, steel traders, parts suppliers and system providers, logistics companies, etc. In addition to traditional visitors, visitors from manufacturing fields such as automobiles, airplanes, railway locomotives, shipbuilding, structural engineering, sheet metal manufacturing, machinery and equipment engineering will also bring more effects to exhibitors.
The two major exhibitor groups of China Foundry Association, two European foundry industry inspection groups, die-casting inspection groups, young entrepreneur inspection groups and group member unit groups brought together dozens of exhibitors and more than a hundred inspection teams to participate in the exhibition, At the same time, rich activities such as economic and trade negotiations and factory visits were also arranged.
China is a big foundry country, and it is also the main market for high-end foundry equipment, foundry raw and auxiliary materials and foundry technology in the world. China is willing to work with colleagues in the industry to build a global green foundry supply chain system. Actively participating in the GIFA exhibition in Germany is an excellent opportunity for Chinese enterprises to learn about new products in the foundry field, discuss new developments in foundry technology, look forward to the development trend of the industry, and explore the market.
