GIFA 2023: THE FINAL REPORT OF THE FAIR
After five eventful trade fair days GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST have clearly exceeded expectations. 63,300 visitors from 114 countries – 58 % of them being decision makers – travelled to the Bright World of Metals in Düsseldorf. Around 2,200 exhibitors from 56 countries presented the power of the metallurgical industry and set forward-looking impulses with their machines, plants and solutions. Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence were much-discussed topics in the twelve exhibition halls of the four world-leading trade fairs.
Investment, also in challenging times for the global economy, spontaneously successful business deals as well as a vivid exchange amongst all parties involved characterised the dynamic atmosphere on the entire fairgrounds. 78 % of visitors are planning concrete investment over the next two years.
“Especially in times of sustainable change it is as important as ever to be present here in Düsseldorf and in direct exchange with industry players in order to demonstrate strength in a forward-looking market environment. With their international appeal and high-quality trade audience GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST provided excellent opportunities to do so,” says Bernd Jablonowski, Executive Director at Messe Düsseldorf, summing up the results of the trade fairs.
“GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST are covering almost the entire international market,” says Malte Seifert, Director Messe Düsseldorf. The demand for European metallurgy and foundry technology is especially high overseas – and here particularly in India, the USA and China. This is also reflected by the international ranking of countries: here India and the growing market Turkey rank first – followed by Italy, China and France. “This high international attendance on both the exhibitors’ and visitors’ part is a key guarantee for the success of the Bright World of Metals making this trade fair quartet so unique. For metal and foundry professionals from all over the world GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST are an absolute ‘must’,” adds Seifert.
The next Bright World of Metals comprising the leading trade fairs GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST will feature on the agenda in 2027; the exact dates will be announced over the next few months.
