16th International Fair of Technologies for Foundry METAL
Date of next exhibition: 28-30 September, 2010

The 15th International Fair of Technologies for Foundry METAL was held from 29 September to 1 October 2009. METAL was inaugurated by Michael Schumacher from CAEF.
Exhibition stands prepared by over 300 companies from 23 countries in Europe as well as from the United States, Taiwan, Japan, China, and India featured special foundry equipment, furnaces, metalworking machines, and auxiliary tools. Thus, all those participating in this fair found something for themselves; visitors - a whole range of products, exhibitors - new markets. The location of this event (near the eastern border of the EU) provides companies operating in the West and the East with an excellent platform for exchanging experience and establishing co-operation.

On the second day of the Fair a summit meeting was held by the CAEF - Committee of Associations of European Foundries and MEGI - the Central European Foundry Initiative, with an agreement for co-operation between European foundry organizations supposed to be concluded.

The Kielce METAL fair enjoys membership of the UFI – Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, which brings together the world's most prestigious fair events. The fair is organized in co-operation with the Foundry Economic Chamber, the Polish Foundrymen’s Technical Association, and the Foundry Research Institute.
Simultaneously with METAL, Kielce provided the venue for the 8th International Fair of Aluminium & Technology, Materials and Non-ferrous Metal Products, ALUMINIUM & NONFERMET and the 10th Fair of Industrial Measuring Technology CONTROL-TECH.
