Industry News Messe Düsseldorf Expands Its Portfolio with GIFA Mexico 2024
With GIFA Mexico from October 16 – 18, 2024 in Mexico City, Messe Düsseldorf will not only provide companies from Mexico and the region with a new platform for the global metallurgy and foundry industry but also give international exhibitors and industry experts a unique opportunity to build their business relations and gain a foothold on the emerging Mexican
market. Together with the
world-leading trade fairs GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST, held as “The Bright World of Metals” at the homebase Düsseldorf, Germany from June 12-16 June 2023, and its satellite events in India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia, GIFA Mexico will become the hub for innovations, know-how and business opportunities in the metal- working industries next year.
Mexico is gaining in importance as
an emerging market located between the U.S. and Latin America, and in this key position is an important growth market for the global foundry and metallurgy industry. Demand for cast components is increasing, particularly strong from the Mexican automotive industry. Cars are the country’s most important exports, with a total value of $41.6 billion, ($27.1 billion), computers ($31.5 billion) and delivery vans ($23.8 billion). Therefore, Mexico's potential is very large, especially in the segments of die-casting technology and aluminum casting and is of tremendous importance to equipment providers and upstream suppliers serving die-casting companies. A major share of the metal die-casting production is accounted for by aluminum, grey iron (29% each) and ductile iron (20%). Well over half of the production (63%) goes to the automotive sector, where
more and more international industrial groups are establishing production sites in Mexico. These are decisive reasons for Messe Düsseldorf to enter the Mexican market – initially as an investment business with GIFA Mexico held as part of the long-established Mexican trade fair FUNDIEXPO. GIFA Mexico is planned to be held every two years starting in 2024. GIFA Mexico will cover a
comprehensive spectrum of machinery, plant, materials and technological innovations ranging from additive manufacturing and foundry machines to castings for a variety of application industries
– from the automotive,
construction, energy and gas industry to users from metal and steel plants. To exhibit at GIFA Mexico 2024 as part of FUNDIEXPO 204, register with Sarah Möller at MoellerS@messe-
