Machinery and technologies for foundry concentrate attention in Kielce during three days at the end of September. Between 22 and 24 September 2026 the metallurgical and recycling industry gathers to see process, automation and sustainability solutions applied to the production of cast parts.
Dates and practical venue
Metal Kielce 2026 will take place from 22 to 24 September 2026 at Kielce Fairground. The fair maintains the three-day format and is held as part of the Przemysłowa Jesień series at Targi Kielce. From several European capitals it can be reached by road in a few hours and there are several international airports less than two hours away by car.
Which companies and sectors you will find
The fair is aimed at the metal moulding and casting sector, with the presence of machinery manufacturers, suppliers of refractory materials and solutions for heat treatment. The event brings together companies from both the manufacturing area and from metallurgical sustainability and recycling. Official communications recall the presence of international companies that bring equipment and processes for industrial transformation.
Technical programme and parallel events
The 26th edition includes forums, seminars and technical sessions that address the digital transformation of the sector. Among the scheduled activities is the Forum Transformacja 360° on 22 and 23 September, with topics on digitalisation, artificial intelligence, robotics and cybersecurity applied to factories. In addition, the 66. Międzynarodowa Konferencja “Krzepnięcie i Krystalizacja Metali 2026” is held on dates close to the start of the fair.
Commercial prospecting at Metal Kielce 2026
With more than 200 participating companies in the previous edition and international delegations, the fair concentrates commercial contacts in a few days. To prepare B2B prospecting it is advisable to prioritise meetings with key suppliers, document technical specifications and bring concrete use cases that illustrate production needs. Schedule meetings in advance and define clear objectives for each visit: validate machinery capabilities, compare integration costs and evaluate providers of thermal processes or recycling.
Trends visible at this edition
The event’s communications position decarbonization, recycling and digitalisation as the show’s main axes. There will also be attention to 3D printing technologies for moulds and sand cores and to solutions that reduce energy consumption in industrial furnaces. These areas are relevant for manufacturers seeking to lower operating costs and comply with environmental regulations.
Final thoughts and where to register
Metal Kielce 2026 combines commercial offering and technical discussion around the modernization of foundry plants. If your objective is to evaluate machinery, materials or process suppliers, plan focused visits and consult the session schedule to select relevant interlocutors.
