EUROGUSS 2026 – International Trade Fair for Die Casting Nuremberg, Germany
Overview
EUROGUSS 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Europe’s leading trade fair for the die-casting industry. Held biennially in Nuremberg, this landmark event serves as the primary meeting point for the entire value chain, from raw material suppliers and machine manufacturers to foundries and end-users in the automotive and mechanical engineering sectors. The 2026 edition is set to focus heavily on “Sustainability and the Circular Economy,” highlighting how the industry is adapting through digital transformation, energy efficiency, and innovative material recycling.
For three intensive days, the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg becomes a global hotspot for technological breakthroughs in aluminum, magnesium, and zinc die casting. With over 700 expected exhibitors and a high-caliber international audience, the fair is renowned for its business-driven atmosphere. It is more than just an exhibition; it is a collaborative platform where the “European Die Casting Award” honors the most innovative components, and the “Young Talent Day” ensures the next generation of engineers and visionaries are integrated into the global network.

FAQ's
Can I buy die-cast samples or machinery directly at the fair?
No, EUROGUSS is a pure trade exhibition for information and order placement; direct sales of exhibited goods are not permitted during the event. However, most exhibitors are happy to provide sample parts or detailed quotes that can be finalized after the fair concludes. Exhibitors often use the show to sell their floor models for delivery immediately after the dismantling period.
Is there a cloakroom or luggage storage available?
Yes, free lockers are available in the entrance areas "Mitte" and "Ost" (a small coin deposit is required and returned). For larger items like trolleys and suitcases, a managed cloakroom service is available for a fee of approximately $3.50 per item. Be aware that large bags are generally not allowed on the exhibition floor for safety and security reasons.
Does my ticket include access to the Die Casting Day conferences?
The 25th Die Casting Day (Guss-Tag) usually requires a separate registration and fee through the VDD or BDG associations. While your trade fair ticket allows you to view the winning components on the stage, the full lecture program is traditionally a paid add-on. Check the "Events & Programme" section on the official website closer to the date for specific registration details for these sessions.
What is the "Young Talent Day"?
Scheduled for January 13, this initiative is designed to connect students and graduates with potential employers in the foundry industry. It features exclusive guided tours, "speed dating" with HR managers, and the presentation of the EUROGUSS Talent Award for outstanding student research. It is an excellent opportunity for companies to showcase their career paths to the next generation of engineers.
Are there facilities for charging electric vehicles at the Messe?
Yes, NürnbergMesse offers several e-mobility charging points in the parking areas surrounding the exhibition halls. Visitors can charge their electric cars while attending the fair, but it is recommended to check the specific locations and availability on the "Travel & Hotel" page of the website. Nuremberg is very proactive with e-mobility, and many local taxi fleets also operate electric vehicles.
