METEC Middle East Africa Cairo

METEC Middle East Africa is the leading trade fair for metallurgical technologies and innovations in North Africa and the Middle East. The name METEC stands for "Metallurgy Technology Expo & Conference" and represents a combination of industry exhibition and knowledge platform for professionals involved in metal processing, iron and steel production, as well as non-ferrous metal manufacturing. The event takes place annually at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC) in Cairo.

METEC Middle East Africa is organized by Arabian German Exhibitions & Publishing Ltd. in cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf GmbH – a globally recognized trade fair organizer with deep industry expertise and an extensive international network. As such, the fair serves not only as a platform for technological advancements but also as a key meeting point for decision-makers, researchers, and investors from across the metallurgical sector – spanning North Africa, the Middle East, and emerging markets throughout the African continent.

The exhibition covers the full spectrum of modern metallurgy – from the processing of primary raw materials and iron ore to steel production and the fabrication of non-ferrous metals. It also highlights foundry technologies, equipment for liquid steel and non-ferrous metals, environmental protection systems such as gas cleaning, as well as electrical engineering, process control technology, and measurement, testing, and information systems. The range is further complemented by equipment for rolling mills and melting plants, including specialized solutions for non-ferrous metals and steel products.

The event is particularly relevant for professionals in plant engineering, metallurgy, energy technology, automation, environmental technology, and process optimization. The visitor profile includes executives from steelworks, foundries, and metalworking companies, alongside engineers, project planners, and investors.

A defining feature of METEC Middle East Africa is its regional focus: it brings global expertise to a region with significant industrial potential and growing economic importance. As part of the international METEC trade fair series, which originated in Düsseldorf, the event now has a presence in several high-growth markets around the world – from Europe to Asia and across Africa.

Technical forums, live demonstrations, and expert panels offer deep insights and foster practical cooperation and strategic partnerships.

Cairo, as the host city, provides an ideal setting for this international industry gathering. The modern EIEC Exhibition Center is conveniently located, easily accessible from both the city center and the international airport, and stands out for its advanced infrastructure and professional event management.

METEC Middle East Africa is more than just a trade fair – it is the pulse of metallurgical progress in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions.

The METEC Middle East Africa will take place on 3 days from Saturday, 06. September to Monday, 08. September 2025 in Cairo.
