The winners of the International Aluminium Die-casting Award 2014 were announced at EUROGUSS 2014 in Nuremberg. Prizes were awarded for three castings, with a further three castings receiving special commendations. It was the sixth time the competition had been held and it was organised this year by Düsseldorf-based Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie (GDA), with the support of Bundesverband der Deutschen Gießerei-Industrie (BDG).
For many years, the Aluminium Die-casting Award has proven to be a successful platform for demonstrating the high quality standards of aluminium die-castings. The aim of the competition is to boost interest in aluminium, a versatile material, still further and to demonstrate further fields of application. The castings have to be produced from a common aluminium foundry alloy and the assessment criteria are quality, topicality, innovation and technical progress.
This year there were 17 entries: 11 from Germany, three from Austria, two from Italy and one from Switzerland. The six winners were:
BMW AG, Werk Landshut, Germany
Hengst GmbH & Co. KG, Münster, Germany
BMW AG, Werk Landshut, Germany
Georg Frank & Co. GmbH, Heilbronn
DGS Druckguss Systeme AG, St. Gallen, Switzerland
G.A. Röders GmbH & Co. KG, Soltau, Germany
