THE recent wire China exhibition in
Shanghai has confirmed its status as
one of the most important international
trade fairs for the industry, according
to Italian manufacturer SAMP.
“It was an even greater triumph than
we expected,” said Dominique
Perroud, managing director of SAMP
Shanghai.
“The 2014 edition of wire China had an
extraordinary number of visitors and a
powerful media impact, and it also
reaffirmed its international vocation.
“All this gave us an opportunity to
show ground-breaking innovations
from our comprehensive range of wire
and cable manufacturing solutions for
sustainable and efficient manu-
facturing.
“We were pleasantly surprised by the
interest of customers and by the
quantity of new sales contacts that
were made throughout the exhibition.
The wire China show surely met and
even exceeded all of our
expectations.”
SAMP, a global provider of turnkey
solutions for wire and cable
manufacturing, presented many
technological innovations at the
exhibition, including hi-tech rod
breakdown machines for non-ferrous
wire, double-twist bunchers and
innovative spoolers.
One of these breakthrough machines is
the new double-twist bunching machine
BM 630 E, a high-performance,
enhanced version of its best-selling
buncher, characterised by an innovative
energy efficient architecture for high
power factor, the possibility of an
infinite adjustment of the main
production parameters at the control
panel and the ability to run without
human intervention thanks to the SAMP
automatic traversing system. The key
features and technical solutions
adopted are the result of careful
analyses of customers’ requests.
SAMP looks back with fond memories to
the event since wire China 2014
coincided with a major milestone in the
company’s history: the tenth anniversary
of SAMP Shanghai. SAMP has been
active in China since 2004.
In 2011 the decision was made to
further strengthen its local presence,
investing in a new state-of-the-art
production unit to efficiently and safely
produce high-quality machinery and
equipment with minimal environmental
impact. With over 3,800m 2, SAMP
Shanghai has almost doubled its
original size.

Emphasis on quality
Increased demand for western goods and machines was
noted at the Eder stand at the recent wire China exhibition
in Shanghai.
The company experienced a good return on visitors to its
stand during the first two days of the show, with an
increase in number from countries such as Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, Iran, Malaysia and India.
Quality is also appearing to be far more important to the
Chinese market with many companies forgoing cheaper
machines on offer.
