In addition, the guests informed themselves in numerous lectures about the current topics of the industry. As a meeting place for the international forging industry, the first EUROFORGE conFAIR was an ideal platform to connect with customers and potential business partners and to get in personal contact.
“We have had more good discussions after just half a day than at a general industry fair for a whole week”, was just one of the positive responses from exhibitors.
Well-known speakers from industry and science discussed forward-looking technologies as well as challenges for the industry in a global context.
