More then 900,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space has been sold at the four metallurgy trade fairs to be held in Germany in June.


GIFA First held almost 60 years ago,


GIFA, the 13th International Foundry Trade Fair with Technical Forum, is the oldest among the trade fair quartet and this year will oc- cupy 499,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space, surpassing the record set in 1999 of 497,800 sq. ft. Regarding exhibitor numbers (801 companies), the 2015 staging is one of the most successful in the trade fair’s history. “T e phrase ‘oldie but goldie’


defi nitely applies to GIFA, which has maintained an excellent level for many years and will be presenting the global players of the industry again this year,” Kehrer said. “By now, 61% of the GIFA exhibi-


tors come from outside Germany,” said Project Manager Raphaela Müller. “T is is a clear indication of GIFA’s global signifi cance.” As in the past, Italians (113 com-


panies) represent the largest exhibitor contingent in 2015, followed by China with 79 participants and Great Britain with 42 companies. Egypt, Bulgaria and Singapore will be represented at GIFA 2015 for the fi rst time.
