The wire and cable industry’s attention turns to Atlanta,
Georgia, next month for the biennial Interwire.
Renowned for debuting new machinery and its networking,
Interwire is the largest and oldest exhibition in the Americas
and is featured heavily in this issue of wiredInUSA with more
than 30 pages of exhibitors listingdetails of their involvement.
Thecity’sCongressCenterwill stage the four-dayconvention
and three-day exhibition, organized by the Wire Association
International. Please feel free to call in to booth 222 to
collect copies of our sister publications, EuroWire and Wire
& Cable ASIA. Our coverage starts on page 42.
Whilst looking forward may be very much on the minds of
everyone at Interwire, history also features in this issue with
collector Mike Call of Nevada explaining his fascination
with barbed wire. Mr Call, a barbed wire aficionado, talks
about his interest in barbed wire ahead of the Western
Collectibles Show, sponsored by the California-based
Barbed Wire Collectors Association and being staged this
year in Minden, Nevada. Catch the full story on page 12.
