ALUMINIUM 2018 Conference
ALUMINIUM 2018 will again be accompanied by the ALUMINIUM 2018 Conference, where current topics of the aluminum industry will be presented and discussed. For many years, the ALUMINIUM congress has complemented the fair. Since 2010, the Congress is planned and organized by the GDA, the German Aluminium Association (Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie e.V.).
In 2018 the GDA will again bring, together with its subsidiary organizations and as a representer of the industry, all his know-how in the Congress. From the industry for the industry - mainly the Congress gears to the needs of the aluminum processing industry.
