A glimpse into the future
across the industry
Looking far into the future seems to be a pattern throughout this May
issue of Wire & Cable ASIA.
Kobe Steel and partners Sugita Wire and the Fasten Group are
increasing the production capacity at their Chinese joint venture that
processes special steel wire rod into wire.
The venture – Jiangyin Sugita Fasten Spring Wire Co – anticipates
expansion for advanced oil-tempered wire for cold-coiled suspension
springs. The full story can be found on page 10.
UK company Metalube is continuing its expansion plans with the
opening of a new office in Dubai – Metalube Arabia. The
Manchester-based company’s range of specialist lubricants has been
well received in the area. The company also recently co-hosted a
technical seminar with its distributor in the UAE. Full details are on
page 15.
Starting from its Taiwan base, Unistrong Industrial is now expanding
into China, Thailand and Indonesia, providing turnkey projects to an
ever-expanding customer base.
The company offers tunnel pickling lines providing an output of
30,000 tons per month in Ningbo, China, and launched production in
January 2015. Turn to page 22 for the full story.
Germany-based machine manufacturer Queins
has launched an advanced horizontal planetary
strander for the production of subsea cables.
The machine is designed for stranding of power
conductors based on three reels. The full story
can be found on page 25.
