WCN Autumn 2010

WCN Issue N° 43 7
The new WiCAB event will run concurrently with Tubotech
2011, the largest trade fair for the pipe and tube industry in
South America.
Over 16,500 trade visitors attended Tubotech 2009, the
pipes, fittings and components international trade fair held
every two years in São Paulo, Brazil. The fair featured the
latest products and services in pipe, pipe making machines,
raw materials, measurement and control technology as well
as process technology tools, secondhand machines and
test equipment.
Some 420 companies from 15 different countries
participated in the 2009 exhibition. Tubotech provides
industry customers in Brazil and the surrounding countries
with an excellent opportunity to gather information in their
own continent and also offers international exhibitors a
gateway to the major and very important Latin American
market. The fair’s joint organisers are Grupo CIPA, Brazil and
Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, Germany. Since 2004 Tubotech
has been sponsored by the IWMA’s sister organisation
the International Tube Association (ITA) and the ITA will
again be supporting the 2011 edition that will take place in
October at the well appointed Imigrantes exhibition site near
Congonhas Airport in São Paulo.
Hitherto, the two major sectors of cable and wire have
not featured specifically as standalone exhibitions in the
Brazilian calendar of trade shows. Now a new event, WiCAB
2011 – International Wire and Cable Fair, is set to be a key
meeting point in South America for a huge industry that
generates billions of dollars annually, as well as thousands
of jobs, and is crucial for the development of Brazil.
Previously wire drawing was included as a sub-sector at
the concurrent Metaltech exhibition, which was supported
by the IWMA. The IWMA has now confirmed its support
for WiCAB 2011, which will be held in São Paulo from 4th to
6th October 2011 in conjunction with Tubotech.
This combination of concurrent tube and pipe and wire
and cable exhibitions is certain to heighten overall visitor
interest as has been clearly evident in other venues around
the globe in China, Russia, Southeast Asia and of course in
Düsseldorf, home of the world’s largest and most important
industry event.
For preliminary details about these joint events please
contact the organisers. Alternatively, the IWMA and ITA
Secretariat can give practical information and advice about
exhibiting. The associations hope to be able to offer special
exhibitor packages for Tubotech and WiCAB later this year.
