Four trade fairs to
run concurrently in
India from 2012
STARTING in 2012, India’s leading trade fairs for the metal,
wire, cable and tube industries and for welding and cutting will
be taking place concurrently. From 29 to 31 October 2012,
trade fair visitors will have the opportunity in Mumbai to gain an
unparalleled overview of a comprehensive international range of
products and services.
To better exploit the synergies between the individual
product areas, Metallurgy India – International Exhibition on
Metallurgical Technology Products and Services in India, Tube
India International – All Indian Exhibition and Conference for
the Tube and Pipe Industries, and Schweissen & Schneiden
India – International Trade Fair Joining-Cutting-Surfacing, will be
switching from the spring to the autumn, and will be organised
in the Bombay Exhibition Centre to run parallel to Wire & Cable
India, the trade fair for machinery and equipment for the wire and
cable industry.
All four of these trade fairs will attract great interest on the
Subcontinent, as India is one the most important steel producing
regions in the world and ranks among the global top ten for steel
processing and steel usage.
The exhibitions are organised by Messe Düsseldorf and its
subsidiary Messe Düsseldorf India as well as Messe Essen, and
are supported by the major international industry associations,
including the International Wire & Machinery Association and the
International Tube Association.
Schweissen & Schneiden, which is held every four years
in Essen and attracts more than 1,000 exhibitors and over
60,000 trade visitors, is the most important event in the welding
specialists’ calendar. This world-class trade show has been
present in the Indian Subcontinent since 2003, and events are
also held in China and Russia.
Messe Düsseldorf organises wire and Tube, the leading
global trade fairs for the wire, cable and tube industries. Every
two years, these events draw more than 2,000 exhibitors and
over 70,000 visitors to Düsseldorf. The range for this sector also
includes important regional trade fairs which Messe Düsseldorf
stages in the growth markets of Southeast Asia, China
and Russia.
