It is therefore an ideal venue for stakeholders in the foundry, metallurgy and processing industries to meet. It offers them the opportunity to establish lasting commercial relationships, conclude partnership and cooperation agreements, and exchange experiences and expertise.

The organisers of Fondritech Expo 2026, namely the Fondritech cluster and SAFEX, emphasised that this trade fair is part of the drive to strengthen the national industry. The event also aims to consolidate local production and processing capacities. Encouraging technological innovation and providing Algerian companies with access to international markets are also among the key objectives of this first edition. Indeed, this industrial event coincides with the commissioning of the Gara Djebilet mine in Tindouf, whose first shipment of iron ore is expected in Oran today. This heralds the beginning of a new era in the history of the national steel industry.

The organisation of this trade fair also demonstrates that stakeholders in this sector are strongly committed to the policy initiated by the country's highest authorities. This policy aims, above all, to diversify the national economy's resources. In this context, and to ensure the success of this event, the organisers have put together a rich programme including, among other things, technical workshops and professional conferences. These will address key topics such as industrial subcontracting, digitisation, quality assurance and the integration of new technologies in the metals and foundry industry.

On this occasion, they inform operators wishing to participate that registration is now open on the digital platform "registration.safex.dz".
