Preparations are entering the final phase as CastForge 2026 approaches, bringing together foundries, forging specialists and machining experts from across Europe.

The trade fair, dedicated to castings, forgings and their processing, will showcase the latest developments in components, manufacturing technologies and supply-chain solutions for a wide range of industrial sectors.

Interactive planning tools available

To help visitors make the most of their time at the event, organisers have launched an interactive floor plan that allows attendees to explore exhibitors, locate stands and plan meetings in advance.

The digital platform provides an overview of participating companies and offers direct access to exhibitor information, helping visitors tailor their trade fair experience to specific business interests.

Final registration phase underway

Organisers are encouraging industry professionals to complete their registration ahead of the event. CastForge continues to position itself as one of Europe’s key meeting points for the casting and forging industries, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers and customers from sectors including mechanical engineering, automotive and energy.

Focus on networking and industry exchange

Alongside the exhibition, visitors can expect a broad supporting programme featuring industry presentations, networking opportunities and discussions on current market developments.

The event will also offer digital networking tools designed to help exhibitors and visitors increase their visibility before and during the trade fair and connect with potential business partners.

CastForge 2026 will take place at the Stuttgart exhibition centre and is expected to attract participants from across the European metalworking and manufacturing industries.
