From 1–2 July 2025, at a venue close to Milan, the EUROGUSS Executive Circle will gather C-level executives from the entire value chain of Europe’s die casting industry to set the strategic course for the future of the sector. It’s where visionaries, innovators, and industry leaders come together to discuss and develop solutions with a view to creating a strong, sustainable future for the European die casting industry. Participants can look forward to renowned speakers, interactive workshops, and a high-calibre international network. The theme of the event is: “Less past, more future”. There are still a few places available.
The EUROGUSS Executive Circle is a unique combination of in-depth workshops, a clear strategic direction, and an exclusive international network. Attendees will not just be able to deepen their knowledge but will benefit from the platform above all to forge strategic partnerships that will actively shape the future of the industry. As Christopher Boss, Executive Director of EUROGUSS, emphasises: “We are focusing on specific projects that will be actively driven by the participants, along with an exchange of ideas that offer genuine benefits for attendees and the entire industry.”
“The die casting industry is in a crucial phase. We are facing the greatest challenges of recent decades – but at the same time, this also presents an opportunity,” explains Johannes Messer, renowned industry expert and co-initiator of the Executive Circle. “Companies must now adjust to these changes quickly and resolutely. The EUROGUSS Executive Circle is the perfect place to discuss these challenges with one another and develop solutions that not only improve competitiveness but also strengthen the sector in Europe as a whole in international markets.”
High-calibre keynote on future viability
In his keynote address, Professor Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, a leading expert on the automotive industry, will also provide insights into its future. Dudenhöffer will analyse the key trends and challenges for the automotive sector, which plays a pivotal role as the main customer for die cast products. His in-depth insights offer participants valuable perspectives on how the die casting industry can consolidate and retain its role as a key sector in the automotive industry in the future.
Interactive workshops: concrete solutions for the industry
Interactive workshops are a dominant feature of the EUROGUSS Executive Circle. They offer participants the opportunity to conduct intensive discussions with leading experts, develop specific projects, and work together on practical solutions. The workshops address the most pressing challenges in the sector:
- AI in the die casting industry – how artificial intelligence can optimise processes within companies and drive innovation.
- Industry marketing – how companies in the die casting sector can better position their brands and services to raise their visibility among customers, talented professionals, and potential employees.
- Market and customers – a deep dive into market developments and a look at how die casting companies can successfully accommodate their customers’ requirements.
- Employer branding – how companies can strengthen their employer brand and attract skilled workers to the die casting industry as they compete for talent.
International network as a decisive competitive edge
A distinguishing feature of the EUROGUSS Executive Circle is the international network that allows participants to think beyond national borders and forge strategic partnerships with industry leaders from all over Europe. In an exclusive, high-calibre setting, the leading lights of the die casting industry come together to share their experiences, learn from one another, and pave the way to the future. Boss underlines the value of this exclusive network: “This international dialogue offers a decisive competitive advantage that is far in excess of what conventional congresses and trade fairs can offer.”
