Newcast - the international castings trade fair, is ready for the second round. Foundry experts from all corners of the globe will cast an inquisitive eye on the latest technical developments in the field of foundry products. An optimal product overview and exchange between builders and buyers is guaranteed.
Newcast — in close proximity to the related technology trade fairs GIFA, METEC and THERMPROCESS, will present all casting materials and casting procosses. The industry is meeting under a good star, since the spirits are high especially in the European foundries. They are partaking in the economic upswing that is fuelled by rapidly increasing global industrialisation and increased demand for mobility.
The European foundry industry — as a strong supplier for the growing international vehicle, machinery and systems production industry — is exceptionally well positioned. The diverse customer structure is reflected at Newcast. In addition to the major growth powers, the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, companies in the areas of aerospace, construction, electronics, astronautics and medicine are among the core target groups. Ship construction, rail traffic, energy technology as well as architecture and arts round off the picture.



The variety displayed at Newcast emphasises once more that cast products have excellent chances to prevail in the competitive world of production processes. The close to unlimited design variety offered by casting, the economic efficiency of the process, the reliability of the products and the path taken towards top-level process flexibility provide ideal pre-requisites for the industry.
Computer-aided optimisation offers invaluable assistance on the way to cast prototypes. Foundry engineers are aware of the signs and use their capacities as materials experts to drive innovation and to position themselves as competent suppliers of solutions.
