Euroguss

What Euroguss does

Euroguss is an international trade fair dedicated to die casting technology, processes, and products, organized by NürnbergMesse GmbH and held at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. The event runs on a triennial cadence, with the next edition scheduled for January 18-20, 2028 marking the show's 30th anniversary. The fair covers the full die casting value chain — from raw materials and melting through die casting process machinery, heat treatment and finishing, quality assurance, further processing, and end-products — and serves manufacturers, suppliers, equipment vendors, and senior decision-makers across the global die casting industry. Supporting the core exhibition are complementary programs including the EUROGUSS Executive Circle for senior executives, the European Die Casting Award, the EUROGUSS Talent Award and Young Talent Day, and the international EUROGUSS family of regional events in non-German foundry markets. The product surface also extends to EUROGUSS 365, a year-round digital platform combining a news hub, newsletter, and media data services that supports continuous industry engagement between event cycles.

Revenue is generated primarily through exhibition stand rental paid by exhibitors (minimum 16 sqm, with associated AUMA fees of EUR 0.60 per sqm and bundled exhibitor passes), complemented by visitor ticket sales via the exclusive online TicketShop, parking and on-site service fees, and the EUROGUSS 365 content/media data services. Go-to-market is event-driven: exhibitor acquisition runs through direct sales outreach, online stand applications, and a global network of International Sales Partners in over 70 countries (including dedicated NürnbergMesse subsidiaries in Austria, Italy, China, India, Brazil, and North America), while visitor acquisition combines online ticket sales, partner-led international outreach, and year-round content marketing. Operationally, the event is supported by digital tools including the TicketShop, exhibitor portal and ExhibitorShop, TransITfair logistics system, Digital Guide, and an AI-powered trade visitor verification system provided by ISR Information Products AG (Buildsimple). Underlying technology is therefore tooling for exhibition execution rather than a proprietary product platform; competitive advantage rests on brand heritage, network density across the global die casting ecosystem, and the distribution reach of the NürnbergMesse partner network.

Ownership sits with NürnbergMesse GmbH, a private German GmbH (HRB 761, Register Court Nuremberg) whose majority stakeholder is the Free State of Bavaria; Albert Füracker serves as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Peter Ottmann as CEO. Within the NürnbergMesse portfolio, Euroguss is positioned as the category-leading international trade fair for die casting, with adjacent sub-brands (Executive Circle, Talent Award, European Die Casting Award) reinforcing the event's centrality to the industry.

Broad incumbents

• Messe Frankfurt: One of the world's largest trade fair organizers with a broad portfolio including industrial events. Comparable in scale and event-driven business model, representing competitive context for major German trade fair operations.
• Hannover Messe: World's leading industrial trade fair covering manufacturing, energy, and Industry 4.0 themes. While broader in scope than Euroguss, it overlaps on the die casting supplier audience and represents a major competing venue for industrial exhibitor marketing budgets.
• Messe München: Major German trade fair organizer hosting multiple industrial events including bauma and IFAT. Similar in scale, event-driven business model, and international sales network structure to NürnbergMesse/Euroguss.
• Koelnmesse: Cologne-based trade fair organizer with international events across multiple industries including manufacturing. Comparable in scale and venue ownership model to NürnbergMesse, providing competitive context for German trade fair market dynamics.
• Messe Düsseldorf: Messe Düsseldorf organizes GIFA, NEWCAST, METEC, and THERMPROCESS - the leading international trade fairs for foundry, casting, and metallurgical technology held on a four-year cycle. This is the most direct competitor to Euroguss in serving the global die casting ecosystem, with significant overlap in exhibitor and visitor audience.

Direct peers

• CastForge (Messe Stuttgart): CastForge is the international trade fair for castings and forgings held in Stuttgart, Germany. It directly competes with Euroguss for the same die casting exhibitor base and decision-maker audience, with overlapping coverage of the cast components value chain.

Emerging players

• IFAM (Messe Bremen): International trade fair for additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing. Adjacent to die casting with overlap in advanced manufacturing technologies and supplier audience - represents an emerging alternative category that could attract die casting suppliers exploring new production methods.

Regional players

• GLOBAL INDUSTRIE (France): Major French industrial trade fair covering manufacturing technologies including metalworking and casting. Regional peer primarily serving the French and broader European market, overlapping with Euroguss's die casting exhibitor and visitor base.
• FABTECH: North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, and welding event. Comparable in industry focus (metal processing manufacturing) but serves primarily the US/Canadian market with overlapping exhibitor and visitor profiles to Euroguss's die casting audience.
• Metal+Metallurgy China: China's leading trade fair for metal and metallurgy industries including foundry, casting, and die casting technologies. Regional peer serving the Asian market where significant die casting manufacturing capacity exists, providing competitive context for Euroguss's international expansion ambitions.
