materials for customers interested in

this new machine. Our large,

energy-efficient P1500 and EP500

welders proved popular with visitors

looking for a cost-effective way of

welding non-ferrous rod, including

aluminium to copper, up to 30mm

(1.181

"

) diameter. All in all, a very

positive show.”

French lubricant manufacturer

Condat

was delighted with the response at its

stand. Communications manager

Nathalie Vidal said: “Whereas Messe

Düsseldorf has announced a three per

cent decrease in visitors this year,

Condat’s booth has experienced great

recognition and increased its leads.

We have welcomed visitors from 60

countries.

“There was a great interest in Condat’s

new offers for lubricants dedicated to

electrical wire and cable and HSE-

friendly solutions. This was also a

good occasion to communicate on

Condat’s new image and dynamic:

simple, modern and efficient.”

The ability to identify and track

products is becoming essential to the

smooth trading of steel across the

globe, and many visitors showed

interest in Sheffield, UK-based

IML

’s

high performance labels and tags.

With one eye firmly on the future,

Rosendahl Nextrom

branded the

show as “a really powerful and highly

energised wire 2016.”

“Industry 4.0 – ‘Smart Factory’ as we

like to call it – is becoming reality and

opening new doors both for us as

suppliers

and

for

you

as

manufacturers. It is an industrial

revolution which eases information

management,” the company said.

“The main benefit is concerned with

predictive maintenance, backtracking

of processes and online monitoring.

We at Rosendahl Nextrom take this

revolution seriously and are proud that

we could present the opportunities

with our technology.”

Managers at UK manufacturer of

round, flat, shaped profile and

electrical resistance wire

Alloy Wire

International

hailed the exhibition as

“the best yet.”

The company saw more than 250

serious enquiries during the five-day

show, with interest for its extending

range of exotic nickel alloys coming

from all corners of the globe, including

Australia, Japan, the USA and Europe,

in the automotive, aerospace, defence,

medical and nuclear sectors, with oil

and gas the only sector showing small

signs of depression.

Mark Venables, managing director,

said: “wire 2016 was definitely the

biggest and the best yet in terms of

getting so many quality suppliers,

customers and agents together in one

venue. This is our premier show of the

year and this is reflected in the level of

investment we have put into creating a

high profile presence and the fact we

have many of our international agents

here to build relationships and talk to

visitors.”

He continued: “Enquiries came from

all over the world and having a vast

array of our colleagues on hand was

great to help interpret and translate

conversations. The exchange of

thoughts and ideas flowed freely and

I’m sure will lead to orders.”

Like many other companies, Alloy Wire

– which is celebrating its 70

th

anniversary this year – used the show

to launch its new technical brochure

and its largest ever range of exotic

nickel alloys, which offer high

corrosion resistance properties and

high temperature performance.

Over 50 different alloys – including the

recently added Nitronic 50͋ (0.025 to

5.5mm) and Super Duplex (0.025 to

6.5mm) – were on display at the

Brierley Hill firm’s new stand, which

caused a lot of interest.

Another business launching a new

product was UK company

Cimteq

and

its partner,

InnoVites

from the

Netherlands. The latest joint venture –

CableSuite – has been described as a

cable manufacturer’s dream, providing

a single comprehensive set of tools in

one place.

CableSuite is a complete and fully

integrated enterprise software solution

that supports all business functions of

cable manufacturers and distributors,

combining CableBuilder, CablePlan,

CableERP and CableMES. CableSuite

enables a cable manufacturer or

distributor to significantly optimise and

accelerate its business processes.

As anticipated the interest in the

product was extensive and the

exhibition was considered to be an

extremely successful showcase by

both Cimteq and InnoVites.

Steve Mepsted, managing director of

PWM Ltd

, said: “We enjoyed an

excellent show with steady visitor

traffic to the stand from Monday

through to Thursday; Friday was

quieter. Visitor quality was also really

good with more visitors from India and

Scandinavia than in previous years.

“Our innovative ST40 air/hydraulic

cold welder specifically designed for

joining strip and tape was a big

attraction, and we are now testing

PWM seemed to have little trouble in

attracting visitors to its stand
