for the second concurrent staging of wire South America and
TUBOTECH.

of gross
exhibit space with approximately 500 brands at the São Paulo
Expo Exhibition & Convention Center in Brazil.
The 11,000 international trade visitors attending the three-day
event primarily came from the oil and gas, automotive and
construction industries, as well as metal construction and mining
sectors.
At wire South America 2015, about 150 exhibitors from 25
countries presented the latest technologies from the wire and
cable industry. For the first time, the trade show featured a
German group exhibit with 22 companies.
Although Brazil’s economic growth has slowed down and
despite the negative growth expected for 2016, the products of
the wire, cable and tube industries remain of high importance
for Brazilian industry. Demand is particularly high in the
construction and automotive sectors as well as for household
electronics in general, and manufacturers’ objective to be
present on the South American market remains strong.
“The Brazilian market continues to be highly attractive for our
exhibitors,” said Erhard Wienkamp, division director of Messe
Düsseldorf. “Even in tense economic times it is important to fly
your flag, make contacts, strengthen partnerships and prepare
business deals.”

Italian partners of the Fiera Milano Brazil, wire South America
was supported by leading international associations: IWMA
– International Wire & Machinery Association, IWCEA –
International Wire & Cable Exhibitors Association, WCISA – Wire
and Cable Industry Suppliers Association (USA) and ACIMAF –
