ABOUT THE FAIR
ANNOFER, embedded within the renowned ANKIROS Fair, takes place every two years in the autumn in Istanbul. Since its inception in 1992, it has established itself as an essential meeting point for decision-makers and professionals in the global non-ferrous metals industry. Organized by Hannover-Messe Ankiros Fuarcilik A.Ş., the event provides a platform for industry players from around the world to forge partnerships, showcase the latest technologies, and conduct business deals.
The three-day event is held at the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM), one of Turkey's leading exhibition venues, known for its modern infrastructure and excellent transport links. These conditions create an ideal environment for exhibitors and visitors to network effectively and pursue their business goals.
ANNOFER focuses on equipment and technologies for the production and shaping of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper. Exhibitors showcase a wide range of machinery, equipment, products, raw materials, consumables, and services. Highlights include the latest innovations in high and low-pressure die casting and advanced industrial furnaces.
A key aspect of the fair is its synergy with ANKIROS and TURKCAST, allowing participants to network almost seamlessly. This integration creates a unique space for continuous exchange, enabling participants to make the most efficient use of their time. Every year, this successful venue attracts repeat visitors and satisfied exhibitors, reinforcing its position as a central meeting point for the industry.
As a central business hub, ANNOFER offers an outstanding opportunity to learn about the latest trends and technologies, engage directly with experts, and set the course for future innovations and collaborations in the non-ferrous metals industry. It is an indispensable interface for professionals looking to analyze the market, both currently and in the future, and to strategically position themselves.
