EUROGUSS 2026 Nuremberg: dates, programme and exhibitors

EUROGUSS 2026 is the leading European trade fair dedicated to die casting and to technologies related to the entire die casting value chain. The event will take place from 13 to 15 January 2026 in Nuremberg, at the Nürnberg Messe exhibition centre, an international benchmark for major industrial trade fairs.

Recognised as the reference exhibition for manufacturers, foundries, technology suppliers and industry professionals, EUROGUSS has represented for thirty years a privileged meeting place for innovation, technical exchange and industrial development. The 2026 edition takes on an even more symbolic value, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the event — a milestone that reflects the continuous evolution of the die casting sector and its ability to respond to new market challenges, from sustainability to the digitalisation of production processes.

What is EUROGUSS and why it is the reference event for die casting

Founded 30 years ago, EUROGUSS has progressively established itself as the leading international platform for the die casting industry, accompanying the technological and industrial evolution of a sector that is strategic for many application fields. Over the years, the trade fair has become an essential meeting point for companies, professionals and research centres engaged in the development of increasingly high-performance, sustainable and digital solutions.

The mission of EUROGUSS is clear: to promote the exchange of expertise, innovation and know-how across the entire die casting value chain. The event brings together manufacturers of die-cast components, technology suppliers, specialised technicians, designers and researchers, creating an ecosystem where new industrial applications, advanced production processes and emerging market trends can be discussed and explored.

One of the distinguishing features of EUROGUSS is its ability to cover the entire die casting value chain, offering a comprehensive and integrated view of the sector. The exhibition includes:

• raw materials, alloys and innovative materials for die casting
• machinery and equipment, from presses to casting and cooling systems
• production processes, quality control and performance optimisation
• finished products, structural components and industrial automation solutions

This approach makes EUROGUSS not only an exhibition showcase, but a true European hub for innovation in die casting, where production needs meet technological research and new industrial development strategies.

When and where EUROGUSS 2026 will take place

EUROGUSS 2026 will take place from 13 to 15 January 2026 at Nürnberg Messe, one of the most modern and well-equipped exhibition centres in Europe, located in the heart of Bavaria, in Nuremberg.

The choice of Nuremberg is no coincidence: for many years the city has been a key reference point for international industrial trade fairs, thanks to a strong focus on technological innovation and the presence of numerous companies operating in the automotive, metallurgical and mechanical sectors. EUROGUSS fits perfectly into this ecosystem, attracting qualified exhibitors and visitors from across Europe and from major global markets.

Over the three days of the event, the exhibition will offer a rich and well-structured programme including exhibition areas, technical conferences, live demonstrations and B2B meetings. This format is designed to support both professional development and the creation of new business relationships and strategic collaborations.

Thanks to the combination of a strategic location, high-value technological content and the presence of leading companies, EUROGUSS 2026 confirms itself as a must-attend event for all professionals involved in the die casting and metal processing value chain.

Key themes of EUROGUSS 2026

The EUROGUSS 2026 edition will focus on the major topics that are reshaping the future of die casting, with particular emphasis on sustainability, technological innovation and digital transformation. The trade fair content reflects the concrete challenges the industry will face in the coming years, offering practical solutions and long-term strategic perspectives.

Sustainability and circular economy

Sustainability will be one of the central pillars of EUROGUSS 2026. The event will dedicate significant attention to solutions aimed at material recycling, emission reduction and energy efficiency in die casting processes. Foundries are increasingly required to combine industrial performance with environmental responsibility, and the trade fair represents a key opportunity to discover technologies and strategies that support a true circular economy for metals.

Mega and Giga Casting

Mega casting and giga casting processes are transforming the automotive sector in particular, enabling the production of large structural components with a reduced number of parts and assembly steps. At EUROGUSS 2026, solutions will be presented that improve production efficiency, final quality and cost reduction, opening new perspectives for the design and manufacturing of lighter and higher-performance vehicles.

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence in die casting

Digital transformation is now a well-established reality in the die casting industry. EUROGUSS 2026 will highlight how Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence and advanced monitoring systems are making foundries smarter, more connected and more automated. From real-time data acquisition to predictive process analysis, digitalisation increases quality, traceability and production reliability.

Innovation and development of a skilled workforce

Alongside technology, EUROGUSS 2026 places strong emphasis on the human factor. Sector growth also depends on training, digital skills and continuous professional development. The event promotes dialogue between industry, universities and research centres to ensure a sustainable and competitive future for European die casting.

EUROGUSS 2026 programme and networking opportunities

The EUROGUSS 2026 programme will offer three days packed with technical content, opportunities for discussion and professional development. Alongside the exhibition area, the trade fair will feature a structured calendar of events, conferences and thematic forums, available in the official Events & Programme section, designed to explore the main international trends in die casting.

During the three days of the event, visitors will be able to attend:

• thematic sessions dedicated to sustainability, automation and new production processes
• technical workshops focused on practical applications and real foundry case studies
• live demonstrations of machinery, equipment and digital solutions
• specialist forums with experts, researchers and industry representatives

One of the most appreciated aspects of EUROGUSS is its strong focus on high-quality networking. The trade fair represents a strategic meeting point for companies, technology suppliers, investors, universities and research centres, fostering the development of new industrial collaborations and innovation projects.

EUROGUSS is also a privileged environment for discussing research and development, advanced materials and sustainable production techniques, creating continuous dialogue between academia and industry. This represents a key added value for those who wish to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving sector.
