Interwire and wire Russia
gear up for show time
The first major exhibitions of the year – Interwire and wire Russia – are
covered in this issue of Wire & Cable ASIA.
Interwire – the largest and longest-running exhibition and convention
in the Americas – stages its biennial show in Atlanta, Georgia, from
8th to 11th May. Exhibiting companies can be found on page 68.
The promise of international networking on this stage ensures that
both exhibitors and visitors alike return to the show where machinery
is debuted, reviewed and sold, and information is shared among
friends and colleagues within the industry.
Staged in conjunction with organisers Wire Association International’s
annual convention, Interwire crosses a number of vertical industries,
including automotive, construction, aerospace, transportation and
communications.
Heading into June it is the turn of Russia to play host to a large
gathering of companies for wire Russia, held in Moscow, from 5th to 8th
June.
Despite the tight economic situation overall in the country,
expectations for the trade fair quartet – wire Russia, Tube Russia,
Metallurgy Russia and Litmash Russia – are all very high.
Now is a particularly good time for both
international and Russian companies to make
their mark on the regional economy, with many
international exhibitors expected to intensify their
existing business relations in the country. Our
coverage starts on page 66.
