One trend at the trade fair will be giga-casting, a new aluminium die-casting process in car body construction that is revolutionizing production in the automotive industry. The pioneer in this field, Tesla, in particular, but also other major car manufacturers are already using it due to its numerous advantages. The subject will be one of the topics of discussion at Euroguss 2022 in the Exhibition Center Nuremberg.

After a turbulent period, the leading international trade fair for die casting brings the industry back together in person to experience the latest manufacturing technology, processes, products and innovations on site. The 21st Die Casting Day will take place at the same time, offering participants a platform for discussions and first-hand knowledge.

Opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive industry

Producing entire vehicle components by die casting? A new trend that makes this possible and is on everyone's lips is giga-casting, which is used particularly in the automotive industry. The process reduces the number of components and keeps the weight of the cast components low. Some major car manufacturers such as Volvo and Tesla are betting on the future of this process. Above all, they are hoping for a reduction in complexity, more versatility and lower production costs.

"When it comes to new topics, personal dialog with all those involved is particularly important in order to achieve effective and sustainable development," says Christopher Boss, Head of Euroguss at NürnbergMesse. "Euroguss offers the perfect platform for this, especially in these turbulent times, and focuses on current trends and topics as well as future ones."

21st Die Casting Day

Coupled with the 21st Die Casting Day taking place at the same time, all current and future topics and product developments are guaranteed to be represented at the trade fair. "The Die Casting Day, which accompanies the Euroguss trade fair, is the most important conference for die casting industry professionals," says Thomas Krüger, Managing Director of the Association of German Die Casting Foundries (VDD). "It offers representatives along the entire die casting value chain a unique platform for discussing current topics, challenges and opportunities of tomorrow, providing impetus and promoting success stories."
