Top professional visitors at the EUROGUSS
The whole die casting value chain in one place
High demand for this year’s International Trade Fair for Die Casting (EUROGUSS): booked up for exhibitors, Deharde had signed up in time among 641 exhibitors with own exhibition booth. Between January 16th and 18th, 2018, some 15.000 professional visitors came to Nuremberg in order to get informed about latest solutions concerning products and services around the die casting industry. Deharde, too, presented itself successfully and established and intensified valuable contacts.
“Our first participation of the fair as exhibitor was a complete success. Many trade visitors at national as well as at international level asked for closer cooperation. We promise they can count on our longtime experience and expertise on this subject.” says Marc Brestrich, CEO of Deharde GmbH.
The favorable participation of the EUROGUSS is reason for the decision to take part again in two years time, from January 14th to 16th. The booth will grow because two other divisions of Deharde – jigs and tools from plant engineering as well as wind tunnel models – will broaden Deharde’s exhibition. We are already looking forward to meet our customers’ interests even better with this wider range.
Rollout
New BelugaXL outdoors for the first time
In Toulouse the super transporter rolled off its hangar and was presented by Airbus. It provides a length of 62 m and a diameter of about 8,70 m. The airframe of the first BelugaXL has just been completed: body inclusively supporting structure, tailplane fin, control unit and landing gear. Heart of the air freighter – the giant storage area – consists in large part of the Super Shells delivered by Deharde.
The rollout of the first plane gives way to the beginning of the assembly of the second plane. According to Bertrand George, head of the BelugaXL program, this is going to be done faster now. Deharde is well prepared; the important Super Shells for the body structure are shipped from the Vareler Hafen to France on a regular basis.
Next milestone at Airbus will be the maiden flight of the cargo aircraft in summer 2018. We can’t wait to see our Super Shells way up in the skies!

Delivery of Super Shells
BelugaXL Super Shells arriving in Toulouse.
Deharde has started regular delivery of 8x8 m big Super Shells for the Airfreighter BelugaXL. Thanks
to Deharde’s access to Varel Habour in North Germany, loading on board of two oversized
special container with the fuselage components is done directly at site. Varel –
Nordenham – Hamburg – Bordeaux – Toulouse: the huge containers take several steps
before they reach Toulouse. Here the components are finally assembled to the
BelugaXL, which is supposed to be used inhouse for Airbus. Striking it lucky, the
typical silhouette of the amazing cargo plane can be watched on its route
between Hamburg and Toulouse again – this time as a gorgeous cargo plane high
up in the skies.
