Niehoff looks back
on wire 2012
The wire 2012 trade show and the exhibition at Niehoff’s new
factory in Schwabach have proven to be a great success for
Niehoff Group.
Products like the new D 1251 double twist buncher, Niehoff’s
largest machine of this kind (on display at the in-house
exhibition), the new BMV 124 type rotary braiding machine,
a heavier version of the BMV 24 model, and the MMH 101
type multi-wire drawing machine for 20 wires attracted
particular interest. The same can also be reported on the
Niehoff after sales support, which provides customers with a
wide variety of options for upgrading and retrofitting existing
machinery, and with spare and wear parts (such as the Niehoff
ECO-Bow for bunching machines and contact tube sleeves for
continuous resistance annealers).
At its wire Düsseldorf stand, an approximately 80-strong
Niehoff team from the headquarters, subsidiaries, sales
and service offices and international agencies welcomed
customers and other interested professionals from all over
the world. A highlight of the show was the traditional Niehoff
evening event on Wednesday, where more than 1,000
cocktails were served.
Wire drawing machinery supplied by Niehoff is currently used
to produce wire from copper, copper alloys, aluminium, and
aluminium alloys. Bi-metals such as copper clad aluminium
and steel, plated copper and other kinds of composites can be
used, and wire made of special materials with final diameters
down to 0.014mm can be produced.
