Our Turkish subsidiary GTP ZENMET will be presenting high-performance riser systems and innovative software solutions by GTP Schäfer at ANKIROS / ANNOFER / TURKCAST in Istanbul. GTP ZENMET is based in Istanbul and from there supplies the Turkish foundry market.
The trade fair is one of the most important trade fairs worldwide in the field of metallurgy and foundry technology. It is taking place from 19 to 21 September 2024 at the Istanbul Expo Center and is organised by Hannover Messe Ankiros Fuarcılık A.Ş.
Due to its geographical location and favourable production costs, Turkey is currently the second largest producer of metal castings in Europe. The production volume has increased from one million tonnes in 2006 to over three million tonnes in 2022. Investments in modern machinery and production facilities have helped Turkey to play a leading role in Europe.
Since its foundation in 1992, ANKIROS has established itself as the central platform for the global metal industry. The trade fair offers a wide range of products and technologies relevant to iron and steel production, foundries and the processing of non-ferrous metals. The exhibition includes machinery and equipment for smelting and casting, rolling mills, refractory materials and testing equipment.
A special feature of this trade fair is its parallel organisation with the ANNOFER (focused on non-ferrous metals) and TURKCAST (an important foundry trade fair in Eurasia) trade fairs. This combination makes ANKIROS a unique meeting place for industry experts from all over the world who want to learn about new technologies and make business contacts.
The trade fair is particularly interesting for professionals from the steel and foundry industry, but also for players from related sectors such as the automotive, construction and mechanical engineering industries.
