EuroBLECH prepares to
open its doors
The metalworking technology show EuroBLECH was first held in
1969 at London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre.
Forty years and several location moves later, EuroBLECH is
celebrating its 20th anniversary.
From October 21st to 25th, at the exhibition centre in Hanover,
organisers expect to exceed the success of 2006 – when over
1,400 exhibitors from 40 countries welcomed 64,000 visitors from
73 countries to the 130,000m 2 hall space.
The event attracts industry professionals from across all metal
working sectors. Specialists at all management levels, from SMEs as
well as large and blue chip companies, will be making the trip to
see the latest technologies, tools and systems on offer.
Potential exhibitors are advised to book their space as soon as
possible, as floor allocation is almost complete.
Visitors to EuroBLECH can order a copy of the visitor leaflet.
This will give all the important details of the exhibition, together
with accommodation and travel information. It will be published in
12 languages and can be ordered online.

Solving a reel issue
Although some cable manufacturing companies provide
limited schemes to recycle the large cable drums
used for long length cables, the majority of cable reels are
simply added to the waste disposal system.
Ventcroft is believed to be the first cable manufacturing
company to offer a scheme to collect and reuse empty
standard 100m cable reels.
Each year Ventcroft uses over 250,000 plastic reels
to supply fire performance cable to users. Now both
installers who use the cable, and wholesalers who
distribute the cable, can take advantage of a scheme
to help the environment and save money.
The plastic cable reels overcome the difficulty of
disposing of cardboard and plywood reels, but it is
the ability to recycle and reuse the reels which provides
the greatest environmental benefit.
Plastic reels are more robust than cardboard or plywood,
do not suffer from adverse weather and are moisture
resistant.
Over 95% of plastic reels can be reused and the remainder
can be recycled.
