About the IWCS For sixty years, the IWCS, a non-profit organization, has presented the latest technologies in wire, cable and connectivity. Now rebranded to reflect its expanded scope the IWCS International Cable-Connectivity Symposium remains the prestige venue for the presentation of peer reviewed work in fields of wire, cable and interconnected technology for the communi- cations, data, electronics, power, industrial, automotive and aerospace industries. In 2009, the topical scope of the symposium program was broadened to include the adjacent manufacturing segments of connectivity and wiring harness products with the inclusion of the IICIT (International Institute of Connector and Interconnection Technology) Symposium with the IWCS conference. Additional conference tracks, professional development offerings, and exhibition spotlights that target the interests and needs of the interconnect community are planned for 2011. For complete connectivity solutions, the International Cable-Connectivity Symposium has no rivals.

Extrusion facility expansion

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation has begun the expansion of its Kaiser Alexco hard alloy aerospace extrusion facility in Chandler, Arizona. The investment of approximately $11 million is expected to be completed by the year end and will provide additional extrusion and heat treat capacity to meet growing demand for these products in the marketplace. Jack A Hockema, president, CEO and chairman, said: “Hard alloy extruded shapes represent an important part of our broad product offering for aerospace applications, and the expansion of the facility will further enhance our position as a strategic supplier of aerospace extrusions in addition to value-added plate, sheet, cold finish products and drawn tube.” Kaiser Aluminum Corporation is a producer of semi-fabricated aluminum products, including extrusions, rod, bar, tube and wire products.
