CastForge 2021: A clear „Yes“ in favour of the trade fair More than 200 exhibitors have registered for CastForge 2021 / Demand now for a restart - June 8th-10th 2021 CastForge is very impressive thanks to its unique focus on castings and forgings with processing. Over 200 exhibitors have already registered for the second edition of CastForge from 8 to 10 June 2021 and are looking forward to a safe and successful event. In spite of the various digital discussion and presentation platforms which have been created during the corona crisis, there is still demand for a trade fair and a restart is more important than ever for everyone involved. This is also indicated by the high international proportion of registrations, i.e. 60 per cent, which come predominantly from Italy, France, Spain and the Czech Republic. Gunnar Mey, Department Director Industry at Messe Stuttgart, explains why trade fairs are also important during the corona pandemic and how they can be staged.
