Cologne Heat Treatment Exhibition in Germany

The only professional heat treatment and industrial furnace exhibition in Germany. Non exhibitors can join the group to visit and explore the market. European heat treatment companies attach great importance to technology development, and most of them have their own patented technologies and products. This is the foundation for enterprises to achieve development in market competition, and it is worth learning from and drawing lessons from for heat treatment companies in China. The 79th European (Cologne, Germany) International Heat Treatment and Industrial Furnace Exhibition, hosted by AWT (German Association for Heat Treatment and Materials), is one of the largest heat treatment exhibitions in Europe, with a total of about 200 exhibitors in 2016.

For nearly 60 years, AWT has been representing the exchange and technology of heat treatment and materials engineering, promoting cooperation and exchange between academic research and industrial production, and establishing universal European scientific research projects and standards through the organization of professional technical forums and exhibitions. AWT has 480 individual members and 297 corporate members, covering research structures and enterprises in Germany's major heat treatment fields.

Heat treatment (HT) and surface engineering (SE) processes can provide dual impacts on energy and the environment Heat treatment refers to a combination of heating, insulation, cooling, and other treatments in a solid metal state to achieve the desired metallurgical properties and appearance. In the entire metal processing industry, heat treatment accounts for approximately 20% of added value, 17% of industrial energy consumption, and 2-15% of consumer costs. The total market value of global heat treatment is about 75 billion euros, while as a manufacturing powerhouse, the industry scope in Germany is about 20 billion euros. The estimated global sales of heat treatment equipment are 4.5-5.5 billion euros, excluding steel furnaces. There are approximately 250 furnace companies worldwide that consume heat treatment equipment, including 54 in the United States, 40 in China, and 27 in Europe, which are major manufacturers of heat treatment equipment.
