International Aluminium Pressure Die Casting Competition 2008
 
The Association of the Aluminium Recycling Industry (VAR)
and the Organisation of European Aluminium Refiners and Remelters (OEA) held a competition for aluminium pressure die casting together. They were supported by the Verband Deutscher Druckgießereien (Association of German Pressure Die Casting Works) and the Expert Committee for Pressure Die Casting of the Verein Deutscher Gießereifachleute (Association of German Foundryman). This competition wants to show the high quality of aluminium pressure die casting to the public.
 
A qualified panel of Judges from research and practice reviewed the entries and made their awards. The main criteria for judging the entries were casting quality and the suitability of the construction for pressure die casting. In addition, the entry had to show how the use of this casting influences the application of recycled aluminium.
 
The three winning entries selected by the judges were awarded certificates. Three further castings got a special honourable mention. The awards show for the best took place on the occasion of the EUROGUSS Exhibition which was held from
11 – 13 March 2008 in Nuremberg.
