The HA Group was represented by an international team at the 75th World Foundry Congress (WFC 2024) in Deyang, China, from October 25 to 30. Managing Director Franz Friedrich Butz moderated the WFO International Forum on “Molding Material and Technology 2024”.

Our experts presented innovative developments, including the use of inorganic sand cores in die casting and sustainable solutions for reducing emissions and sand regeneration. The presentations by our experts were met with great interest and promoted professional exchange.

The HA Group remains an important driving force for the foundry industry - with sustainable technologies and a strong commitment to the future.

The strong growth of the Indian foundry industry was the main theme of this year's IFEX in Bangalore. Fittingly, the motto of the 72nd Indian Foundry Congress was "Unleashing the opportunities". 

In addition to the growth of the Indian foundry industry, the focus was also on the targeted improvement of quality standards and the topic of sustainability. The Gargi HA stand was a central meeting point for international trade visitors and the specialist presentations also attracted a great deal of interest. In addition, there was great networking in the social media and IFEX forums. 

With a record number of around 17,000 visitors, the trade fair was a complete success for both the organizers and the entire HA Group team!
