en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 23rd International Forgemasters Meeting (IFM) will be held in China in September 2027, marking the first time the event has been hosted in China since its inception in 1954.

The International Forgemasters Meeting is held every three years, organized and hosted by industry associations and large forging enterprises from various countries around the world. Participants mainly come from regions such as Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The conference content covers technology, processes, equipment, markets, materials, corporate management and operations, as well as various topics related to open-die forging (or large forgings). Open-die forgings, especially large forgings, are critical supporting components for industries such as energy, national defense, petrochemicals, aerospace, metallurgy, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery.

Since 2006, a large number of enterprises and individuals from China's forging industry have participated in the meeting, but it was not until 2018 that the China Forging Association was admitted to the meeting's Executive Committee, giving China a voice. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the 21st meeting could not be held, and the 22nd meeting was successfully held in Italy. After persistent efforts, the 23rd meeting has been confirmed to be held in China in September 2027. The China Forging Association is collaborating with upstream and downstream forces in the industry to jointly prepare for this grand event.
