"You use it every day!" With this sentence, the organisers of the trade fair want to bring the topic of die casting closer to those outside the industry. Every door buckle, every car has to do with die casting and therefore concerns us all. There is great interest among experts in aluminium, magnesium and zinc die casting. The figures are going up - this year almost 650 exhibitors from 33 countries, a good third more visitors than two years ago and a high level of internationality at 60 per cent - but the challenges are also growing: keyword sustainability. The trade fair is taking the path to the future with people who not only care about the topic, but are also driving it forward.
Sustainable supply chains: solution-orientated expert talk
Nothing works in the corporate world without functioning supply chains, and companies and consumers alike have experienced the global extent of this in recent years. However, supply chains are also the decisive lever for sustainability. As a rule, this is where the majority of CO2 emissions are generated, but this is also where companies can take action and make a difference. With sustainability expert Prof Dr Matthias Fifka from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Prof Dr Lisa Fröhlich, Professor of Sustainable Supply Chain Management, two proven experts addressed the topic of "sustainable supply chains" at EUROGUSS.
Their analysis: innovative business models can prevent so-called stacking crises and establish sustainable supply chains, despite challenging regulations (keyword: Supply Chain Act) and only in teamwork between companies and their suppliers. Major topics in this context are Responsibility with regard to social and environmental aspects, the circular economy and decarbonisation.
