ALUCAST 2020 has been cancelled because of the global concerns over public health & safety due to COVID-19. The event was scheduled to be held from 3-5 December, 2020 in Chennai.
ALUCAST 2020, one of the most anticipated events for the aluminium die-casting Industry, was expected to attract more than 300 exhibitors from over 15 countries and more than 5000 visitors. However, the global escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the staging of physical exhibitions in their traditional format.
{alcircleadd}Mr. Prasan Firodia, Chairman, Aluminium Casters' Association (ALUCAST) & Managing Director, Jaya Hind Industries and Force Motors said, "We do not envisage a scenario for our exhibitors and visitors to fully experience and benefit from the 2020 edition of ALUCAST. We have taken this decision keeping in mind the market sentiment, as also the overall safety perspective. We shall be announcing the dates of the next event, by the first quarter of 2021 after taking stock of the situation and based on Industry Feedback".
Ms. Sonia Prashar, Managing Director, NürnbergMesse said, "The challenges and uncertainty stemming from the spread of the pandemic would have impacted the staging of ALUCAST 2020. An event which relies strongly on face to face connect & networking, would not have functioned well amidst restrictions.
The Aluminium Casters' Association (ALUCAST) works in close cooperation with the Aluminium Die-Casting Industry to provide a global forum for Indian casting producers. The next edition of ALUCAST will offer a chance to its exhibitors to present their latest innovative solutions in line with Industry 4.0.
"Given our role, we will work to ensure that ALUCAST emerges as a platform which empowers businesses to come together and offer solutions for a post COVID world. In the interim, a series of webinars & technical presentations will be organised to keep the community engaged and the dialogue flowing", concluded Mr. Zubin Kabraji, Secretary, Aluminium Casters' Association (ALUCAST).
