BolognaFiere 23-25 November 2021
Pad. 26 B100
A training and exhibition area promoted by METEF, supported by the associations AIM, Assofond, FACE and authoritative brands in the sector, which focuses the spotlight on light alloy foundry castings and the recycling of aluminium, a young metal that is increasingly driving industry, research and innovation.
The light alloy casting foundry is a sector in which the Italian entrepreneurial fabric, mainly made up of small and medium-sized companies, plays a leading role in the global market with competence, experience and creativity. It is a segment that for a long time remained little considered by metallurgical and technological research, but today it occupies leading positions due to developments in new production techniques, optimization of plant engineering, digitalization and attention to quality, with the push of the automotive industry, in search of increasingly advanced solutions.
Thanks to the participation of leading players in the sector, a rich program of meetings and opportunities for in-depth analysis of current issues for the sector will be proposed, from automotive components in aluminium structural castings, to new foundry alloys studied at universities, to the great opportunities offered by recovery and recycling, to the problems linked to decarbonisation costs, highlighting the synergies between industries, universities, associations and end users.
The Foundry Square is a taste of the Italian potential in the sector and is a first step towards an even closer collaboration between MecSpe and Metef that will lead to the realization of the two events in parallel, always in Bologna, in 2022.
