A statement by Mr. Ibrahim ANIL, Managing Director of HM ANKIROS Fairs
“Since 1992, with its settled reputation and the power of founding industries benefit ANKIROS Fairs to overcome the crises. In its last edition ANKIROS 2018 achieved all-time record of –satisfied- visitors and exhibitors and almost all recurring exhibitors are waiting for the coming business meetings.
New dates will be the perfect timing after this long wait for face-to-face business due to pandemic.
Being the first real exhibition of the metallurgy industry after a long time of period, ANKIROS Fairs will be an “opportunity not to be missed” for the industry. All our contracted exhibitors are waiting for new dates to meet with their forgoing business relations and new connections, after the pandemic regulations and travel restrictions pass away.”
ANKIROS and TURKCAST – An Ideal Platform for Foundry Industry
ANKIROS / TURKCAST exhibitions will be organized between October 6-8, 2022, in conjunction with 2 well established International Congresses, 11th International Foundry Congress by Turkish Foundry Association and 21st International Metallurgy and Materials Congress by Turkish Chamber of Metallurgy and Materials Engineers Training Center.
These trade fairs have become the largest and most prestigious foundry events of Eurasia aiming to bring together all elements of the Eurasian Foundry Industry under one roof. Taking place every 2 years since 1992, the fairs are establishing a reputation as one of the major shows for global Foundry Industry for 30 years.
The 2018 edition of these exhibitions was a great success as 1020 exhibitors from 45 countries, around 17.000 industry professionals from all around the world gathered on the 22.832m² net stand area. Stand reservations of the leading suppliers to foundries are already completed for ANKIROS / TURKCAST fairs which are gaining more and more corporate attention. These trade fairs will play an important role in the metallurgy industry and bring great business opportunities again.
Turkey; the Reliable Metal Castings Supplier; A lot to do in Die Casting!
Turkey is ranked as 2nd in ferrous castings and 3rd in Non-ferrous metal castings in EU. Capacity utilization rate is 65% in Iron and Steel Casting, but 90% in die-casting. Being aware of this fact, Turkish Foundrymen are keen on investing on die casting while keeping their existing market shares in their already established production range. This creates a lot of opportunities for machinery, material and technology suppliers to Die-casting industry.
Industrial Highlights in ANKIROS.
Die-Casting - Due to the facts given above, there is a rapidly growing section for die-casting in ANKIROS and leading suppliers to the foundry industry have already secured their stand spaces.
