Why Coimbatore Is an Ideal Location

Coimbatore is one of India’s important manufacturing and engineering centres, with a strong industrial ecosystem and a significant presence of foundries. The city’s connectivity with major industrial centres such as Chennai and Bengaluru also supports its position as a suitable location for an international foundry and die-casting exhibition.

For manufacturers and suppliers, hosting the event in Coimbatore provides an opportunity to connect with companies from South India as well as buyers and professionals from other regions of India and international markets.

Strong Participation from the Previous Edition

The 2024 edition demonstrated the growing importance of the Inter Foundry & Inter DieCast platform. According to the event organisers, the previous edition featured 220 exhibitors, 8,058 registered trade visitors and 13,500 square metres of exhibition area. More than 70 live machine demonstrations were also featured.

The organisers also report that 88% of exhibitors confirmed participation for the next edition, while 90% rated their participation as good or excellent.

For 2026, the organisers anticipate a larger edition, with the 2026 newsletter stating plans for more than a 30% increase in exhibition area, a 25% increase in exhibitors and more than 12,000 trade visitors expected during the three-day event.

Business and Networking Opportunities

Inter Foundry & Inter DieCast 2026 is more than a technology exhibition. It is also an important business networking platform for the casting industry.

Manufacturers can use the event to:

• Meet potential customers and casting buyers
• Discover new suppliers
• Compare manufacturing technologies
• Identify new machinery and process solutions
• Explore export opportunities
• Build partnerships with technology companies
• Discuss production challenges with industry experts
• Find solutions for quality and productivity improvement
• Understand emerging casting technologies
• Develop long-term business relationships

For international companies, the event can also provide an entry point into India’s expanding manufacturing ecosystem.

Opportunities for Casting Buyers

Casting buyers can benefit from meeting multiple suppliers and manufacturers in one location. Instead of evaluating companies individually, purchasing and engineering teams can compare different technologies, production capabilities and solutions during the exhibition.

Buyers from sectors such as automotive, pumps, valves, hydraulics, agriculture, construction equipment, energy, mining, oil and gas, electrical equipment and general engineering can explore potential suppliers for both standard and specialised components.

Technology, Innovation and Industry Development

Modern foundries are increasingly adopting automation, digital technologies, simulation, advanced materials, robotics and improved quality-control systems. Inter Foundry 2026 provides a platform where these developments can be explored directly.

The 2024 edition included discussions and product presentations covering areas such as 3D scanning, 3D printing, pouring technologies, coatings, sleeves, vibratory equipment and engineered materials.

The 2026 edition is expected to continue this focus on technology adoption, productivity improvement, sustainability and future-ready manufacturing practices.

International Collaboration and Global Exposure

Inter Foundry 2026 is also gaining stronger international relevance through cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf, organiser of major global metallurgy and foundry exhibitions including GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST. This collaboration is intended to strengthen connections between Indian and international stakeholders in the metals and foundry industries.

This international connection can create opportunities for Indian manufacturers to showcase their capabilities to a wider audience while enabling global technology providers to explore India’s growing industrial market.
