Four trade fairs to run concurrently in India from 2012

Starting in 2012, India’s leading trade fairs for the metal, wire, cable and tube industries and for welding and cutting will be taking place concurrently. From 29 to 31 October 2012, trade fair visitors will have the opportunity in Mumbai to gain an unparalleled overview of a comprehensive international range of products and services. To better exploit the synergies between the individual product areas, Metallurgy India – International Exhibition on Metallurgical Technology Products and Services in India, Tube India International – All Indian Exhibition and Conference for the Tube and Pipe Industries, and Schweissen & Schneiden India – International Trade Fair Joining- Cutting-Surfacing, will be switching from the spring to the autumn, and will be organised in the Bombay Exhibition Centre to run parallel to Wire & Cable India, the trade fair for machinery and equipment for the wire and cable industry. All four of these trade fairs will attract great interest on the Subcontinent, as India is one the most important steel producing regions in the world and ranks among the global top ten for steel processing and steel usage. The exhibitions are organised by Messe Düsseldorf and its subsidiary Messe Düsseldorf India as well as Messe Essen, and are supported by the major international industry associations, including the International Wire & Machinery Association and the International Tube Association. Schweissen & Schneiden, which is held every four years in Essen and attracts more than 1,000 exhibitors and over 60,000 trade visitors, is the most important event in the welding specialists’ calendar. This world-class trade show has been present in the Indian Subcontinent since 2003, and events are also held in China and Russia. Messe Düsseldorf organises wire and Tube, the leading global trade fairs for the wire, cable and tube industries. Every two years, these events draw more than

2,000 exhibitors and over 70,000 visitors to Düsseldorf. The range for this sector also includes important regional trade fairs which Messe Düsseldorf stages in the growth markets of Southeast Asia, China and Russia.
