GIFA Planners Accelerating Schedule, Reset for 2018
Global metalcasting expo and three parallel events to resume on a three-year schedule
- 78,000 visitors / 2,200 exhibitors in 2018
- Reacting to changes, creating appropriate platforms
- “An appropriate interval”
- The International Foundry Trade Fair, or GIFA, has been drawing metalcasters and their supplier companies to Düsseldorf, Germany, since 1956.
Messe Düsseldorf, the trade show organizer that presents GIFA and three companion events, announced the next staging is set for 2018, inaugurating a new three-year cycle in place of the four-year sequence that has been the recent pattern. The 14th Internationale Giesserei-Fachmesse (International Foundry Trade Fair, or GIFA) is now set for June 26-30, 2018 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The initial staging of the GIFA enterprise happened in 1956, with cycles varying from six, to five, to four years (the latter since 2003.)
The other co-located events — METEC, an expo for primary metal equipment and consumable products; ThermProcess, a trade show for the global thermal processing industry; and NewCast, an exhibition of metalcasting design and production capabilities — also will adopt the new three-year cycle.
