We all hear and read of companies expanding,
building new premises, buying new machinery,
recruiting more sta .
This is obviously to be embraced as our industry
prepares itself for the future and the technological
changes that it will bring.
So it is especially encouraging to see Messe
Düsseldorf, organisers of the largest wire and
cable exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany, rmly
keeping its eye on the future with a massive
redevelopment of its Fairgrounds site.
The company, which also organises wire China,
wire Southeast Asia, wire South America and wire
Russia, is spending €140 million expanding its
southern entrance and Hall 1.
That is just part of a €636million plan the company
has in investments for its premises before 2030.
If those gures fail to give an impression of the
size, the fact that the south entrance and Hall
1 development began in May and will not be
completed until summer of 2019 leave no doubt
as to the scale of the works.
Turn to page 9 for the full story.
It would also be remiss of us not to look back at
North America’s largest and oldest exhibition,
Interwire.
Staged at the World Congress Center, Atlanta,
Georgia, in May, Interwire was hailed as a great
success by many exhibiting companies.
“Atlanta is such a great venue for this show,”
enthused one exhibitor, while “this was one of the
best Interwires on record,” exclaimed another.
Our review of the
three-day
exhibition
can be found on page
36.
