The Rheowalk at the Euroguss 2026

The Rheowalk is designed to help visitors quickly find all companies connected to Rheocasting and semi-solid casting. Instead of wandering through six massive halls, the Rheowalk directs you to the booths where foundries, equipment suppliers, engineering partners, alloy experts, academic institutes, and process specialists are gathered. So, you get the full ecosystem needed to evaluate or implement Rheocasting along the value chain.

Companies Featured in the Rheowalk

4A-216 Bühler: A major die-casting machine supplier from Switzerland. Their machines, including those used for gigacasting, are well known for high quality. They operate a HPDC and Rheocasting test center with a 1,400-ton machine in Uzwil and have deep process knowledge.
4A-322 Wieland Caro: Described as the silent heroes of the process. They engineer plunger tips and rings, with backstroke lubrication that solves major challenges in both high-pressure die-casting and Rheocasting. Their engineered plunger systems were key to solving real-world issues with wear and stability in complex parts.
4A-522 Faist Light Metals: An Italian pioneer producing large, complex telecom heat-sink components using low-silicon alloys. They run a 2,700-ton Frech machine and cast 45–50 kg shots, a great demonstration of what is possible in Rheocasting at very large scale.
4-342 MAGMA: Provider of advanced simulation tools. MAGMA’s software plays a crucial role in predicting semi-solid flow behaviour and optimizing gate design, overflows, properties, distortion, and even sustainability and cost comparisons through new modules.
4-116 DGS: Swiss foundry with Rheocasting implemented on a 4,400-ton Bühler machine, one of Europe’s largest Rheocasting cells. DGS also operates plants in China and the Czech Republic.
5-153 Casting-Campus: A key partner for business development, engineering, market insights, and the Rheocasting Masterclass. They support customers from business case through part development to industrialization and serve as active guides during the Euroguss Rheocasting Walking Tour.
5-162d Comptech: Developer and supplier of the slurrymakers which enable Rheocasting. At Euroguss, they are launching two software tools. The first is RheoStart, which supports optimization of the starting point for casting parameters, superheat, and shot profiles. The second one is RheoQuality, which allows rapid measurement of solid fraction from simple microscopy images.
5-162f Spartan Light Metal Products: A U.S. family-owned group active in both thin- and thick-wall Rheocasting. Known for extensive development work and multiple facilities, including one amusingly located in a town called Mexico, in Indiana.
5-162a Dynatool Industries: Canadian pioneers of Rheocasting and producers of the well-known Rivian hinge pillar. They are likely the foundry with the largest number of successfully industrialized reocast part numbers, including production for Japanese OEMs.
5-162b PSW Group: Global supplier of Rheocasting alloys, especially very low-silicon compositions optimized for thermal conductivity. They supply worldwide (North America, China, India, Vietnam, Japan, Korea, etc.) and are connected to a large industrial group.
5-162g PTS Prüftechnik: German experts in casting planning and simulation. Known for deep competence in reading and iterating simulations, helping OEMs and foundries solve difficult part issues and qualifying new designs.
5-162c G-Plast: India’s first Rheocasting foundry is operating a new 800-ton Bühler machine. Their leadership brings a long industrial heritage; they offer Rheocasting capacity, are enthusiastic about India’s manufacturing trajectory, and present a valuable regional option for global OEMs.
5-361 Millison Technologies: One of China’s major die-casting groups is located in Chongqing. They produce large volumes of heat sinks and conduct Rheocasting development with outstanding test-center capabilities, admired globally for their equipment and process environment.
5-250a Österreichisches Gießerei-Institut (ÖGI): Austrian Foundry Institute with a 550-ton machine equipped with a slurrymaker. They combine academic rigor with practical industrial trials, providing rheology research, alloy characterization, and sand-core integration studies for Rheocasting.
5-250e Gießerei Technik Kassel (GTK): University of Kassel’s foundry research center under Prof. Fehlbier. Equipped with a 1,400-ton Bühler machine, they conduct extensive customer trials with impressive results. Their work includes breakthrough casting trials such as successful 226-alloy Rheocasting.
7-132 Stena Aluminium: A Swedish recycling-based alloy producer known for extremely low CO₂ footprint material; as low as 0.36 kg CO₂ per kg aluminium. They co-developed alloys such as RheoCool and RheoGreen.
7A-110 Chem-Trend: Global leader in die-casting release agents. They co-developed and optimized release agent solutions specifically for demanding Rheocasting applications, working hands-on with foundries. Their tailored products reduce spray consumption, improve quality, and enhance stability.

Experience all facets of Rheocasting

The Rheowalk brings together the complete ecosystem required to understand and implement Rheocasting: advanced foundries across Europe, North America, India, and China; machine builders and process-equipment suppliers; simulation partners; process experts; material and tooling specialists; and the academic institutes that push the technology forward. Each company along the route represents a different piece of the puzzle.

Instead of spending months gathering scattered information, evaluating suppliers, and searching for best practices, the Rheowalk lets you absorb the essentials in a single afternoon. You can compare real castings, talk to engineers, meet global foundry partners, evaluate alloys, explore test-center results, and see what is actually possible with semi-solid aluminium today.
