EUROGUSS 2026: international foundry trade fair

13-15 January, Nürnberg [Germany]

From 13 to 15 January 2026, the NürnbergMesse complex will become the place where the die casting industry moves from plans to implementation. In the halls, you will see working cells, real cycles, quick changeovers and parameter stabilisation – everything that determines the quality of the part and the costs of the series.

EUROGUSS is strictly B2B, which is why discussions at the machines quickly turn into specifics: test casting, preliminary pricing, test dates and a list of process changes. Here you can compare suppliers, collate data and make sure what will actually shorten your time-to-market.

The core of the event is the complete value chain – from component concept, through design and mould making, to finishing and quality control. There is a strong emphasis on process digitalisation: filling and solidification simulations reduce iterations, real-time data monitoring supports stability and predictive maintenance, and traceability systems close the quality loop from raw material to finished component. In turn, metrology and NDT, tomography, 3D scanning, and SPC analyses provide hard evidence that process parameters translate into results on the part, not just in presentation.

The year 2026 will see pressure for lightness and efficiency. Thin-walled castings with integrated functions will replace multi-component assemblies, simplifying logistics and shortening cycles. The focus will be on components for e-mobility and power electronics, where rigidity, thermal conductivity and surface cleanliness are important. At the same time, the importance of sustainable production is growing: heat recovery, alloy recycling, energy savings and reliable carbon footprint reporting. EUROGUSS allows you to see these trends ‘live’, compare solutions from different suppliers and come away with a clear action plan for the coming quarters.

The greatest value remains the speed of decision-making. In Nuremberg, you can do in one day what usually takes weeks: compare technologies, verify parameters and agree on implementation steps. If your goal is stable quality, lower cost per unit and shorter start-up times for new references, EUROGUSS 2026 is the shortest route from analysis to decision.

Sectors you will see:

  • Al/Mg/Zn die casting: machines, furnaces, automation, robotics.
  • Moulds and tooling: conformal channelled cooling, coatings, quick changeovers.
  • Machining and finishing: CNC, deburring, shot blasting, protective/decorative coatings.
  • Quality control: CT, 3D scanning, NDT, SPC and traceability systems.
  • Software: CAD/CAE/PLM, simulations, production planning, digital twins.
  • Sustainable production: alloy recycling, energy efficiency, CO₂ reporting.

Who is the fair for?

  • Component manufacturers and foundries looking for process stability and cost reduction.
  • Tool shops and mould suppliers focused on durability and short lead times.
  • R&D, quality and purchasing departments planning investments in machinery and control.
  • Automation integrators and machining and metrology service providers.
