Highly energised Düsseldorf
the ‘best yet’ – the exhibitors
When companies hail wire 2016 as ‘the best yet’ and ‘really powerful
and highly energised’, it is easy to understand why wire and cable
professionals from around the world embark on the biennial
expedition to Düsseldorf, Germany.
Whilst organisers Messe Düsseldorf may well have encountered a
three per cent dip in visitor numbers, the exhibiting companies had
nothing but praise for the whole exhibition and the organisers.
“wire 2016 was definitely the biggest and the best yet in terms of
getting so many suppliers, customers and agents together in one
venue,” said Mark Venables, managing director of Alloy Wire
International.
The fact that his company received more than 250 serious enquiries
during the five-day show is testament to confidence coursing through
the industry at the moment.
You can turn to page 49 to see our review of the show, and more
comments from some of the exhibiting companies.
In this issue you can also find out why die making is always held in
high regard in the wire plant in our feature on
dies starting on page 45.

news, as well as regular features Telecom News
