ANKIROS Istanbul

ANKIROS in Istanbul, a major industrial event, takes place every two years in the fall. Since its inception in 1992 by Hannover-Messe Ankiros Fuarcilik A.Ş., it has established itself as a leading trade fair in the world of metallurgy and the foundry industry. The event spans three days at the spacious Istanbul Expo Center (IFM) and provides a platform for industry professionals from around the globe..

The exhibition covers a wide range of topics, from foundry technologies and refractory technology to heat treatment processes. It encompasses the entire supply chain of iron and steel production as well as the processing industries, showcasing a diverse array of products and technologies.

ANKIROS attracts professionals from Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Black Sea regions, the Middle East, CIS countries, Central Asian Turkic republics, as well as Pakistan and India. The fair draws decision-makers who are eager to learn about the latest technical and economic innovations. They seize the opportunity to evaluate products, meet international manufacturers, and negotiate strategic purchase agreements.

Special attention is given to niche segments such as die-casting technologies and heat treatment procedures, offering insights into the latest developments and technological advancements. The event is further enriched by workshops and seminars led by industry leaders.

With a strong focus on innovation, ANKIROS features specialized sections for melting plants and equipment, mold and core production materials, as well as state-of-the-art casting machines and devices.
