Alu-TV® EventsEUROGUSS – Positive signals in Nuremberg for the die-casting industry
Alu-TV® and Alu-Scout® cover the largest gathering of the die-casting industry with dynamic images
EUROGUSS 2010 came to a successful end with positive signals and high visitor numbers. The International Trade Fair for Die Casting: Technology, Processes, Products, which took place at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre from 19 to 21 January 2010, was an inspiring event.
"Despite the economic crisis, around 7,000 trade visitors from around the world came to Nuremberg to attend the largest gathering of the die-casting industry," reported Heike Slotta, project manager of NürnbergMesse. More than 350 exhibitors, including 44 per cent from abroad – primarily Italy, Austria, Switzerland, China, Hungary and Taiwan – presented a wide range of die-cast components, casting machines, furnaces, materials and moulds at EUROGUSS. With key topics including "Tools and machine technology", "Aluminium and magnesium die-casting" and "Zinc die-casting", this year's specialist presentations at the 10th International German Die Casting Congress certainly drew the crowds.
Alu-TV® was on the spot with its film crew, dynamically capturing the highlights of the fair in a variety of media. The day before the start of the fair, the camera crew covered the Aluminium Pressure Die-Casting Competition organised by the Association of the Aluminium Recycling Industry (VAR) and the Organisation of European Aluminium Refiners and Remelters (OEA) and interviewed Alfred A. Lichtensteiger, CEO of Swiss company DGS Druckguss Systeme AG, which won first prize for its electronic air conditioning system in the category "Multifunctional near-net-shape castings". Expert interviews with the people behind the industry, including Dr Hubert Koch, R&D director of Essen-based TRIMET ALUMINIUM AG, and Thomas Reuther, member of the board at TRIMET, focused not just on trends and innovations in the die-casting sector but also reflected the mood and future prospects of the industry in an interview with Alu-TV®. Gerhard Eder, chairman of the Association of German Pressure Die-Casting Foundries (VDD), summed up the mood in the industry as positive, with the die-casting industry approaching the "expected upturn full of courage and new ideas, even though concerns remain about turnover, equity capital development and returns".
