From June 9–11, 2026, CastForge 2026 in Stuttgart will once again bring together key players in the casting and forging industry. At KOVIS Livarna, we see this event as more than an exhibition—it’s an opportunity to share how we help our partners solve some of the most demanding challenges in modern manufacturing.
A. Meeting Today’s Industry Expectations
Across industries such as railway systems, agricultural and construction machinery, robotics, and water-related applications, expectations are rising rapidly.
Customers today are not only looking for castings—they are looking for complete, reliable, and high-performance solutions.
For existing partners, the focus remains clear:
- Consistent quality
- Reliable delivery
- Competitive pricing
For new and prospective customers, the expectations go further:
- Fully finished components (casting + machining + testing + coating)
- Advanced quality assurance and traceability
- High technological capability with strict control standards
This shift is exactly where KOVIS Livarna brings added value and will show you at Castforge 2026.
B. Solving Real Problems – Not Just Supplying Castings
At KOVIS Livarna, we approach every project from the perspective of the customer’s challenges:
Challenge: Insufficient durability and mechanical performance
→ Our solution: Tailor-made materials, optimized metallurgy, and simulation-driven development to extend product lifespan.
Challenge: Inconsistent casting quality and costly deviations
→ Our solution: Advanced quality control systems, non-destructive testing (NDT), and full material traceability.
Challenge: Long development cycles and high prototype costs
→ Our solution: Integration of simulation tools and 3D sand printing to accelerate development and reduce investment.
Challenge: Complex supply chains and multiple suppliers
→ Our solution: A complete, end-to-end approach—from development to finished component.
C. What Sets KOVIS Livarna Apart?
In a highly competitive global market, differentiation matters. Our partners choose us because we combine:
- Expertise in complex, high-demand components
- Development of advanced and tailor-made materials
- End-to-end partnership—from concept to final product
- Modern, high-tech foundry capabilities
- Full traceability and certified quality systems
- Sustainable production approach (circular economy, energy efficiency, ISO 50001)
We are not just a supplier—we are a development and manufacturing partner.
D. A Key Insight Before CastForge
If there is one idea we would like every visitor to take away, it is this one:
Nodular cast iron can replace weldments and even steel castings—at lower weight and cost, while achieving comparable mechanical properties.
Combined with 3D sand printing, this opens entirely new possibilities:
- Faster prototyping without the need for tooling
- Reduced investment costs
- Improved quality of complex geometries
- Efficient production of small series and spare parts
And most importantly:
The greatest value is achieved when we are involved early in the design phase.
Why?
- Lower total costs
- Better functionality
- Fewer iterations and corrections
- Reduced risk of failure
