Keynote Speech at CHINA DIECASTING

I’m honored and excited to share that I will be speaking at CHINA DIECASTING 2026 in Shanghai.

In the presentation, I will talk about the systemic pressure many foundries are facing today, from oversupply and low prices to changing automotive demand and lower production volumes. More importantly, I will show how foundries can open up new opportunities, move beyond commodity competition, and position advanced casting technologies for future high-value applications.

Presentation details:

• Title: Moving Beyond the Commodity Trap into New Markets
  
  
• Date: July 15, 2026
  
  
• Time: 10:25–10:50 (right after the opening ceremony)

This will be my first time attending China Diecasting, which makes the invitation even more special for me. I’m really looking forward to finally experiencing this exhibition in person, meeting many people and companies from the die-casting community, and getting a closer look at what is happening in the Chinese and Asian markets.

Who else will be attending China Diecasting 2026?

If your company will be exhibiting or visiting, feel free to reach out. I’m currently planning booth visits and would be happy to stop by, learn more about what you are working on, and connect in Shanghai.
