EUROGUSS has once again lived up to its reputation as the preferred stage for the international die casting industry. At the trade fair in Nuremberg from 16 to 18 January 2024, 643 exhibitors from 33 countries presented their product innovations and used the platform for networking and as a starting point for a successful year. The number of trade visitors increased significantly. As usual, EUROGUSS provided the perfect setting for the Die Casting Conference at the same time, where speakers from foundries, the automobile industry, universities and companies presented the latest developments and ideas.
“EUROGUSS was once again an outstanding success,” says Christopher Boss, Executive Director of EUROGUSS. “That’s clear from the volume of satisfied and enthusiastic feedback from our exhibitors. We were able to give the die casting industry a home and a direction in difficult times. At the same time, the event was a totally successful start to Nürnberg Messe GmbH’s anniversary year. The company was founded 50 years ago and has developed from small beginnings into one of the world’s leading trade fair organizers.”
23rd Die Casting Conference
The Die Casting Conference, opened by Hartmut Fischer, Chair of the Association of German Die Casting Foundries (VDD), was held for the 23rd time. Twenty-six presentations provided a platform for presenting and discussing new technologies, process and material developments and new areas of application with the experts in the packed plenary session. Digitalization, lightweight construction and sustainability were key topics alongside giga-casting. Following its successful premiere two years ago, the European Die Casting Competition was held for the second time, with an expert jury awarding prizes for cast components in the three categories of magnesium, zinc and aluminium. The winners are BMW AG, Landshut (aluminium), HDO Druckguss- und Oberflächentechnik GmbH (zinc) and TCG UNITECH GmbH from Kirchdorf/Krems in Austria (magnesium).
