Alper Kanca EUROFORGE President 4 | EUROFORGE conFAIR 2018 24_10_Prog_quadrat_A5.indd 4 24.10.18 19:14 WELCOME ADDRESS Dear Members and Friends of the Forging Family, The future of forging – being the motto of our 1st EUROFORGE conFAIR – strongly depends on two factors: on the one hand we need a powerful and innovative supplier base to ensure reliable processes and state-of-the-art solutions along the whole supply chain. On the other hand, intense research & development efforts have to be taken by forging companies as well as the scientific community. The main aim is to defend and extend the advantages of the forging tech- nology against other competing technologies and provide answers to the future challenges of the industry and the global environment. The EUROFORGE conFAIR 2018 addresses both these factors. As an opportunity for all kinds of suppliers to present their latest products and solutions contributing to the effectiveness and efficiency of the forging companies in the extensive fair and exhibition. And with a conference that covers the latest technological developments by world-leading institutes and innovation leaders from the industry. I am very happy to welcome the members of the forging family at this event using the opportunity to meet and exchange on common challenges and on innovative technical solutions. Welcome to Berlin – welcome to the EUROFORGE conFAIR 2018!
