From June 9 to 11, 2026, Setforge took part in CastForge in Stuttgart, one of the leading international trade shows for castings, forgings and machining. Over three days, 576 exhibitors and thousands of visitors came together to share expertise, discover new technologies and discuss the challenges shaping the future of the industry.
From the heart of the French Village Forge et Fonderie, Setforge teams showcased the full breadth of the Group’s expertise: forging, machining, heat treatment, metallurgy, engineering and co-development. This comprehensive approach enables us to support our customers from raw material through to finished component, whether developing new parts, optimizing existing solutions or exploring new manufacturing processes.
A Key Meeting Point for the Industry
Above all, CastForge brings together manufacturers, engineers, OEMs, buyers and partners from around the world. Throughout the event, team members from across Setforge’s 10 sites had the opportunity to discuss new projects, technical challenges and market developments.
These conversations help us better understand our partners’ expectations, share our expertise and identify new opportunities for collaboration. What begins at the show then continues through the technical and commercial work carried out by our teams throughout the year.
A Collective Presence within the French Village
Once again this year, Setforge joined the French Village Forge et Fonderie, organized with the support of the Fédération Forge Fonderie. This shared space highlighted the diversity of expertise, technologies and know-how offered by French industrial companies to an international audience.
We would like to thank the Fédération Forge Fonderie for its commitment to our industry, the CastForge organizers for another successful edition, and Les Standistes for designing and building our exhibition space. We also thank all Setforge team members who attended the event, as well as the customers, partners and industry professionals who came to meet us.
These three days once again confirmed CastForge’s role as a key meeting point for our industry. We are already looking forward to the next edition!
“CastForge is valuable because of the people you meet, the ideas you exchange and the projects that begin to take shape. We are grateful to the organizers, the Fédération Forge Fonderie, Les Standistes and our colleagues from across Setforge’s 10 sites for making this edition possible. Above all, thank you to every customer, partner, prospect and industry professional who stopped by our stand. Your conversations, questions and challenges are what made these three days in Stuttgart truly worthwhile.”
