In 2026, the global metallurgical industry reaches a historic milestone: the centenary of the World Foundry Organization (WFO). Officially founded in 1926 during the 2nd International Foundry Congress in Detroit (USA), the entity was born with the mission to unify technical knowledge at a time when global standardization was scarce yet essential for post-war progress.

The metallurgical industry already has its next meeting point set: the Metalurgia 2027 Trade Fair, which will take place from September 21 to 24, 2027, at Expoville in Joinville, Brazil. Following the historic success of the 2025 edition, the casting and metal transformation sector is preparing for an event that promises to solidify Industry 4.0 and global connections in Brazil.
