Held in Tokyo, Japan from 9 September 2026 to 11 September 2026, Foundry Tech + Expo 2026, the Japan Casting Industry Expo, is a leading trade event for the industry. Drawing exhibitors and trade visitors from across the supply chain, it offers a focused environment for sourcing and business development. On an annual cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. Messe Frankfurt is at the helm, and their attention to the small things is what regular attendees notice most. Tokyo Big Sight sets the scene, offering modern halls and comfortable meeting spaces.

Part of what makes Foundry Tech + Expo 2026 worth the trip is Tokyo itself — a city that knows how to put on an event and give visitors something to remember. Good airport access and reliable local transit make the journey to Tokyo a low-stress one. Lodging is easy to sort in Tokyo, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour. When the badge comes off, Tokyo keeps giving — good food, local colour and sights worth the detour. Few places in Japan are as well suited to hosting the international crowd this event attracts as Tokyo.

Expect Die Casting, Die Casting Machines, Casting, Foundry, Foundry Machinery and Chemicals & Materials in abundance, presented by the brands and manufacturers shaping each of these areas. Beyond the stands, the event creates natural opportunities to connect with buyers, partners and suppliers from across the sector. Curated introductions and open networking areas take the awkwardness out of meeting new contacts.

Few events pack so many sourcing and networking opportunities into so few days. Foundry Tech + Expo 2026 remains a key fixture for buyers, wholesalers and trade visitors, and an edition worth planning for.

Rooms in Tokyo get scarce as the dates approach, so securing a hotel near the venue sooner rather than later is the safer bet.
