Happy new year!
A quick glance through this issue of
EuroWire
provides an encouraging start to 2016 with
expansion plans, new sites, training and charity
donations all at the forefront.
A new laboratory for UK-based specialist lubricant
manufacturer Metalube features on page 11. The
company has doubled the size of its laboratory
in Manchester and spent an additional £100,000
in providing new equipment.
Nieho ’s move to a new home is now complete,
with the German company now having all its
facilities under one roof in Schwabach. The full
story can be found on page 12.
Training is on the mind of Tratos. The Italian
company will host its rst training modules at the
site in Knowsley, UK, later this year.
The training, inmodules, will allownew employees
and long-standing colleagues to further under-
stand the business. See page 17 for more.
Helukabel also has one eye on the future – this
time in the form of a new building in Windsbach,
Germany. The $22m investment will see new o ce
space, laboratory and production space created in
a 96,875ft
2
plant. Find out more on page 20.
Charity in the form of Life is good Playmakers
bene tted from the generosity of S&E Specialty
Polymers when it staged its third annual charity
golf tournament. Pro ts from registrations,
donations and sponsorship amounted to $24,000.
You can read all about it on page 29.
This issue would also not be complete without
mention of wire 2016 in Düsseldorf. Our coverage
of the week-long exhibition starts on page 64 with
the exhibitors listing
