It would obviously be remiss of me if we didn’t
take the opportunity to wish all our readers and
advertisers a happy, healthy and prosperous new
year.
And whilst we have only just entered 2017,
planning is already underway for the agship
exhibition in the wire and cable industry – wire
2018 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Organisers Messe Düsseldorf have already started
making provisions for the week-long show, which
is being staged from 16
th
to 20
th
April next year.
Catch up on the latest details on page 11.
The economy and political issues have also
clouded the scene in Brazil, where wire South
America takes place in October this year.
However, there is good news on the economic
front with recovery expected during the year and
the country moving out of recession. See what the
experts think on page 12.
Investment from companies also seems high
on the list of priorities this month, with William
Hughes ploughing £250,000 into the latest
technology at its Dorset, UK, headquarters. Full
details can be found on page 16.
Investment also comes from Asia with Indonesian
lm producer PT Kencar Sukses Investama adding
two new Davis-Standard machines to its facility in
Sidoarjo, Indonesia.
This is again something of a boon for the USA
company, which has now installed four machines
at the site in the last ve years. Full details can be
found on page 18.
Educationally, new technologies in cable and
connectivity materials, products, processes and
applications are well
catered for with the
announcement of the
UL and IWCS China
Cable
Connectivity
Symposium being held
in April. Full story on
page 21.
