International Foundry Trade Fair and Forum for Latin America
GIFA Mexico 2024 celebrates successful debut: record international attendance and enthusiasm in the exhibition halls make for global appeal
The debut of GIFA Mexico, held in parallel with the long-established FUNDIEXPO at the Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City from 16 to 18 October 2024, drew to a close as a resounding success attracting over 4,700 trade visitors from Mexico, other Latin American countries, the USA and Canada. As a new trade fair in Messe Düsseldorf’s “Bright World of Metals” portfolio, GIFA Mexico has thus set new standards for the foundry sector in Latin America.
344 exhibitors from 16 countries presented foundry technology innovations on over 15,000 m² of exhibition space. Ranging from machinery and equipment for sand and permanent mould casting, metal working, milling to die casting nearly all relevant manufacturers as well as service providers and consultants were represented. Alongside suppliers from Latin America, international companies especially from China, Italy, Spain, Germany and the USA took part. For the first time, companies from Turkey and India also exhibited, two states that are now increasingly discovering Mexico as an attractive market. This underlines the growing international relevance of the trade fair.
