40 th anniversary book commemorates a History of Achievement The largest and most influential corporate membership association for the wire, cable and wire product industries is celebrating its 40 th anniversary in 2010. A new IWMA publication marks this important milestone by tracing the Association’s development from 1970 to 2010. The commemorative book, “History of Achievement, Positive Future”, has been sent to every current member and to many important fellow organisations, partners and contacts in the industry. The 68-page publication needed many hours of research to compile and in addition to a narrative history of the IWMA includes an appendix of key dates, founder members, an historical list of past and present member companies, officers and board members, scholarship awardees, speakers awards and conference history. Someone who has played a significant part in the IWMA’s history and involvement with wire Düsseldorf is Manuel Mataré, a director of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. The IWMA was delighted that Manuel accepted an invitation to write a foreword for the 40 th anniversary book and for his closing remarks. Manuel Mataré writes: “I am convinced that the IWMA will still be going strong in another 40 years’ time and would like to thank the Association for giving me the opportunity of playing a small part in its history. “I wish the IWMA all the very best for the future, and good luck.”
