Bright World of Metals<br />
switches to three-year cycle<br />
GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and<br />
NEWCAST are switching to a three-year<br />
cycle – the next time that the leading<br />
international trade fairs for foundry<br />
technology, metallurgy, thermo process<br />
equipment and castings will be<br />
taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany,<br />
is from Tuesday, the 26th until Saturday,<br />
the 30th June 2018. In taking this<br />
decision, Messe Düsseldorf is responding<br />
to the changes in the innovation cycles<br />
within the industry. Messe Düsseldorf<br />
Director Joachim Schäfer: “Trade<br />
fairs are a reflection of the markets and<br />
at the same time provide an insight<br />
into industrial trends and developments.<br />
As a partner to the industry and<br />
in close liaison with its associations, it<br />
is our mission to react to changes and<br />
to create the appropriate platforms for<br />
good business and cutting-edge innovations.”<br />
There has been widespread approval<br />
of the switch to a different cycle in<br />
the sectors covered by the event too.<br />
Dr Ioannis Ioannidis, CEO of Oskar<br />
Frech GmbH & Co. KG: “With digitisation<br />
and the rapid changes experienced<br />
in networked business life,<br />
trendsetting activities are becoming<br />
increasingly important. It is essential<br />
that the leading international trade<br />
fair GIFA makes a major contribution<br />
here by taking place at an appropriate<br />
interval. The new 3-year cycle for the<br />
“Bright World of Metals” is right in line<br />
with this development.”<br />
In the course of their history, the<br />
four leading trade fairs have adapted<br />
to the changes in their industries’<br />
cycles on several occasions: GIFA,<br />
which premiered in Düsseldorf in<br />
1956, was initially held every six years<br />
before it switched to a five-year cycle in<br />
1974 and then to a four-year cycle at<br />
the beginning of the millennium.<br />
THERM PROCESS has taken place at<br />
the same interval since 1974, while<br />
METEC was added in 1979 and NEW-<br />
CAST made up the quartet in 2003.<br />
