Looking forward to a bright 2013 There is a definite theme towards looking to the future in this issue of Wire & Cable ASIA , starting with our main story ‘Cutting the wire on a new era for SAMP’, on the opening of a new factory in Shanghai, China (page 8). This multi-million Euro investment shows the Italian company’s determination to do business with the Asian region, resulting in the building of a 4,500m 2 plant in Malu Town. The investment continues on page 16 with the news that Datwyler has installed a new communications network in the office of Rathbones wealth management services in Mayfair, London, UK. The deal saw the German company work for several months on the project. Our technology section does not escape new themes either, with Videx launching new dual- spindle thread rollers (page 24), giving higher production speeds. Zumbach has also been busy with the launch of the new Profilemaster PMM 30, 50 and 80 profile and shape measurement systems – the largest in the family (page 26). New CNC technology also comes to the fore, courtesy of William Hughes (page 28), who has fully automated the production process of double torsion springs. Many Far Eastern companies will also be keeping an eye on Interwire, the largest wire show in the US, which takes place in April this year in Atlanta, Georgia.
