GIFA

GIFA is a leading international trade fair for foundry technology. It takes place in Dusseldorf and is co-located with METEC, NEWCAST and THERMPROCESS. With over 95% of all visitors claiming they were satisfied with the preceding editions, GIFA 2023 is the highlight of the year for the professionals in the sector. In June 2023, Messe Dusseldorf will open its doors to more than 950 exhibitors and nearly 49,000 visitors specifically interested in GIFA.

The synergy between the 4 parallel events brings under one roof the foundry, metallurgy and heat technology industries. Experts, suppliers and decision makers will visit Dusseldorf for the GIFA 2023 dates to make personal contacts and engage in international business dealings. The latest survey showed that the 70% of all GMTN exhibitors and 66% of all visitors came from abroad. Italy, China, France, India and Turkey were among the strongly represented countries.

Once again, the 4 trade shows, collectively known as GMTN or The Bright World of Metals, will create a one-of-a-kind business platform for foundry, metallurgy, thermoprocess technology and castings. The interdisciplinary concept behind this contributes to the participants' success, resulting in over 2360 exhibitors and 72,500 trade visitors for the GMTN. The top-notch forum and symposia add further value to the GIFA Dusseldorf experience.

Like the other events forming The Bright World of Metals quartet, GIFA 2023 comes with a supporting programme of its own. The GIFA Forum is where the newest foundry trends and techniques are introduced. A new special show and trade conference on additive manufacturing was added to GIFA's event programme in 2019. The conference features technical lectures involving the digital process chain, QA, innovations in 3D metal printing, etc.
