IFEX 2026 – Strong presence of HA Group in Mumbai
The 74th Indian Foundry Exhibition and Indian Foundry Congress took place from February 12 to 14, 2026, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. With a strong presence, innovative solutions, and international exposure, the HA Group underscored its importance as a global partner to the foundry industry and provided important impetus to the growing Indian market.
Record attendance and high visitor interest
With over 1,400 registered conference participants, 428 exhibitors, and around 45,000 visitors, IFEX 2026 set a new record. Under the HA Group motto “Inventive Foundry Solutions,” Gargi HA presented its complete product portfolio on a 324-square-meter stand. The open stand design was complemented for the first time by targeted use of video technology, which impressively showcased our portfolio. The focus was on personal and intensive technical discussions with customers and interested parties about specific requirements, current challenges, and joint solutions.
The HA Group also provided important impetus at the congress level:
Christian Fourberg, Product Manager No Bake Binder Systems, gave presentations on the topics of “Low-emission furan no-bake binder systems” and “Operation of an olivine mono-sand system in ester-cured no-bake.” The practical content and international experience were very well received by the specialist audience.
In addition, Klaus Oosterhof, Business Development Manager/Key Account Manager, participated as a panelist in the “World Foundry Forum,” underscoring the HA Group's international network and technical expertise.
Strategic platform for sustainable partnerships
IFEX 2026 proved to be a strategically important platform with a lasting impact for both Gargi HA and the entire HA Group. Direct exchanges with decision-makers from all over India opened up valuable prospects for new projects and long-term partnerships.
The HA Group would like to express its gratitude for the great interest shown!
