Four world leading trade fairs, one common goal: shaping the future of the global metals and foundry industry. From June 21 – 25, 2027, “The Bright World of Metals” in Düsseldorf, Germany will bring together international market leaders, unknown champions and newcomers – from iron and steel to aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The focus will be on the key topics facing the industry: sustainability and decarbonization, digitalization and automation, resource efficiency and the circular economy, young talent, global networking and knowledge transfer. These topics will shape the program, the exhibition areas and the forums forming the framework for innovation, transformation and the future capability of the international metals and foundry industry.
The impact of the trade fair quartet on the industry was already evident at the last staging in 2023: 2,200 exhibitors from 56 countries, 63,300 trade visitors from 116 nations, with 58% of visitors being decision-makers and 68% of visitors coming from abroad. Following the restrictions during the pandemic, GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST were among the world's most successful capital goods trade fairs, able to maintain their position as leading global events and showcases for innovations and sustainable solutions holding their own on the international stage. “GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST bring together companies and decision-makers, innovations and markets. Those exhibiting in Düsseldorf in 2027 will not only position themselves technologically but will also become part of a platform that actively drives change in the industry. At the same time, participating companies will benefit from our global expertise and the eleven international trade fairs of the 'Bright World of Metals',” explained Malte Seifert, Director Metals & Autonomous Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.
Four world-leading trade fairs – a joint industry summit
The trade fair quartet will create a global stage for technologies, trends and encounters in the metal industry. As the world's leading trade fair, GIFA presents the entire spectrum of foundry technology – from innovative casting processes and additive manufacturing to resource-efficient production solutions. A wide range of materials and technological innovations in mechanical and plant engineering round off the offering. METEC is the central platform for metallurgy, metal production and processing, focusing on sustainable processes along the entire value chain – from green steel, aluminum and copper to recycling. THERMPROCESS presents forward-looking solutions for industrial heat treatment and, as a global innovation platform, drives the transformation of thermal process technologies – from electrification and hydrogen to energy-efficient fuel systems. NEWCAST focuses on innovative precision-casting products and lightweight construction solutions. It reflects the dynamics of modern manufacturing, offering a showcase for the industry's innovative strength.
Globally networked – with trade fairs and partners worldwide
In addition to the four world's leading trade fairs in Düsseldorf, numerous international events strengthen the international presence and knowledge transfer between markets. With events such as ANKIROS and ALUEXPO in Istanbul, METEC India in Mumbai, GIFA/METEC Indonesia in Jakarta, GIFA/METEC Southeast Asia in Bangkok, THERMPROCESS China in Shanghai, GIFA Mexico in Monterrey, GIFA/METEC Middle East Africa in Cairo and GIFA/METEC Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, a network is created that connects innovations around the globe and brings new impetus to the industry. A new addition is the cooperation with Inter Foundry in Coimbatore, India, starting in 2026.
