From 13 – 15 January 2026, the city of Nuremberg will host EUROGUSS 2026 — the leading European trade fair for the die-casting industry — celebrating its 30th anniversary. Over three intensive days, manufacturers, foundries, machine-builders, material suppliers and automation specialists will converge to showcase the latest innovations, network and set the agenda for the next phase of high-performance casting across aluminium, magnesium and zinc.

Why It Matters in 2026

Die casting remains a cornerstone of many advanced manufacturing tracks in Europe — from automotive structural parts to aerospace components and e-mobility housings. At EUROGUSS 2026 you’ll see several strategic forces coming into play:

• Sustainability & circular economy: New process technologies and materials will aim to reduce emissions, scrap and energy intensity. Key topics for 2026.
• Mega/giga-casting: The production of very large cast components is progressing rapidly — the event will highlight how foundries are scaling equipment and processes for higher volumes and larger parts.
• Digitalisation & Industry 4.0: Smart foundries, AI-enhanced quality control, digital twins and automation systems form an integral part of the technology programme.
• Workforce & talent: With a growing skills gap, the fair will dedicate space to young talent, start-ups and education programmes, emphasising future-readiness.

Key Event Highlights

• The European Die Casting Competition 2026 will recognise excellence and innovation in cast components in collaboration with the ZINK initiative and VDD (Association of German Die Casters). Submission deadline: 11 July 2025.
• Special themed pavilions such as Rheocasting Pavilion, Quality Control & Measurement Pavilion, and Young Innovators offer focused insight into cutting-edge sub-segments.
• The event is expected to bring together around 600 exhibiting companies across six halls and over 14,300 visitors from more than 30 countries — underlining its international profile.

What Exhibitors and Visitors Should Look Out For

• Foundries and machine-builders should engage in live demonstrations of advanced casting machines, process automation, additive tooling and post-casting systems.
• Suppliers can position themselves around material innovations (lightweight alloys, recycled inputs), digital inspection tools (CT, 3D scanning), and software/automation platforms.
• OEMs in automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors should leverage the event for strategic sourcing, networking and discovering new partners in the casting-value-chain ecosystem.
• Attendees looking for impact should attend guided tours and thematic lectures on topics such as decarbonisation, workforce challenges and best-practice digitalisation.

Strategic Take-aways for Industry 4.0 Focus

• Integrate data from casting machines: IoT sensors, condition monitoring and real-time analytics will be increasingly standard in foundries.
• Adopt modular, flexible tooling: As production volumes shift (e-mobility, aerospace), flexibility in tooling and materials will offer competitive advantage.
• Focus on lifecycle cost and sustainability: Energy usage, scrap reduction and circular feedstocks are now strategic levers, not just compliance issues.
• Build partnerships early: Engage with platform ecosystems and start-up pavilions, to stay ahead of process innovations and disruptive models.

Outlook

EUROGUSS 2026 is set to be a pivotal moment for Europe’s die-casting industry — from incremental process upgrades to potential step-changes in large-scale casting, digitalisation and sustainability. For anyone operating in industrial machinery, smart manufacturing or metal casting, the event provides a high-value convergence of innovation, business and insight.
