Past trade fairs

WFC 2024

HA Group at the 75th World Foundry Congress - focus on innovation and sustainability

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.

IFEX 2024

International trade fair in India celebrates its 20th anniversary

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!

GIFA 23

The international foundry family met again in Düsseldorf

Under the motto “Shaping the future together”, the HA Group stand was once again the central meeting point for experts from the foundry industry. In addition to informative presentations and numerous exhibits, the focus of the trade fair was on personal contact - the foundry family is simply unique. Once again this year, the HA Group took part in the Metals4You campaign with its own youth stand. With the help of an exciting quiz on the topic of “You can't do without casting”, the diverse future and career opportunities in the industry were presented.

Thanks to our creative team from Coatings product management, our “HArt” art auction took place for the first time, with the proceeds being donated to a UNICEF aid project for children in Yemen.
