GIFA 2023: THE INTERNATIONAL FOUNDRY TRADE FAIR IN DÜSSELDORF

GIFA, the world's leading trade fair for foundry technology, took place in the halls of Messe

Düsseldorf on 12-16 June 2023. Many German and International exhibitors met at GIFA, with a supporting program also involving numerous seminars, congresses and lectures. It therefore represented the ideal opportunity to keep up with the latest trends and technology innovations regarding foundry solutions.

Our supplier and partner Foseco – foundry division of VESUVIUS plc – was one of the exhibitors at GIFA 2023. Covering more than 900 m² in Hall 12, Foseco stand presented to the public many of its recent innovations for non ferrous foundries, including the new feeder system FEEDEX NF1, already in use at our plant and developed by the collaboration between Foseco and Fonderia Morini.

Foseco developed its stand around three key themes considered crucial to the future of the foundry industry: Sustainability, Innovation and technology & Knowledge and partnership.

Sustainability, of course, was an essential topic discussed at the exhibition: the stated goal is to improve casting yields and quality, reduce consumption of energy and materials and consequently cut harmful emissions. The new products showcased at GIFA will help foundries operate more sustainably.

Unfortunately, due to the massive flood that hit our region in May 2023 and damaged our premises, it wasn’t possible for us to be present at Foseco stand, but we’ll continue to work closely with our partner on the design of new products.
