voestalpine HPM at EUROGUSS 2026: Holistic die approach in focus

voestalpine High Performance Metals presented its Holistic Die Approach at EUROGUSS 2026, meeting customers and partners from across the global die casting industry. The event once again confirmed its role as a key platform for exchange across OEMs, die users, die makers, and technology partners.

Industry focus is shifting

During the show, Günther Prunner, HPDC expert at voestalpine, spoke with Fabian Niklas from the Goldcasting Podcast about the changes shaping the industry.

One message stood out clearly:
The focus is moving away from isolated topics such as die lifetime and toward productivity, OEE, and TCO.

Holistic Die Approach

Meeting these expectations requires more than addressing individual failure mechanisms. voestalpine’s Holistic Die Approach starts with understanding:

• customer pain points
• the casting environment
• real production conditions

The approach combines high‑performance materials with dedicated services, addressing topics such as thermal and air management as part of an integrated system.

Built around collaboration

OEMs aim to reduce part costs.
Die users focus on productivity and efficiency.
Die makers need sustainable performance.

voestalpine’s Holistic Die Approach is designed to create value for all three—supported by a strengthened, interdisciplinary die casting team.
