New plants, new jobs, new awards...it’s all in the
March issue of
EuroWire
– as well as a section on
the wire and cable industry’s largest American
exhibition, Interwire.
Mario Frigerio has consolidated its operations in
Molteno, Italy, with a new 30,000m
2
plant housing
engineering, manufacturing, assembly, machinery
sales, after sales and service and administration.
You can catch up with all the details of this on
page 13.
UK lubricant manufacturer Metalube has another
reason to be celebrating. The company, with plants
in China, India and Brazil, has scooped its second
Queen’s Award for Enterprise, this time with an
innovation award. Read all about it on page 14.
There are a number of new job appointments in
this issue, and UK Steel – the trade body for the
sector – has appointed Gareth Stace as its new
director. The full story is on page 29.
Also worthy of mention is Sket manufacturing the
world’s largest machine for armouring of o shore
power cables.
The machine – an impressive 150m long – has
been delivered to a Scandinavian cable producer
for the armouring of o shore power cables up to
350mm diameter. Turn to page 34.
Interwire is staged in Atlanta, USA, at the end
of April and our coverage in this issue starts on
page 60.
This well-respected exposition is a must-visit
event that attracts both exhibitors and visitors
alike from around the world.
If you are attending the show, please feel free to
