Wire & Cable ASIA – January/February 2010 10
All Madem plants are now working
only with HT ISPM 15 certified
materials.
The HT standard evolved from the
need for pest and insect control in
wooden packaging for shipment.
Every year these requirements
continue to tighten on customers in
countries all over the world. Madem
Group anticipated this trend and
proactively prepared for global
operations to adopt this certification
in Brazil, USA, Spain, Romania
and Bahrain.
“Aside from the obvious question
of pest and insect control for pack-
aging, HT certification has an
additional positive environmental
impact because the HT process
doesn’t use harsh chemicals and
conforms to ISO 14000 standards,”
said Leandro Mazzoccato, director
of corporate marketing and sales.

100% certified timber
wire Southeast Asia proved to be a very successful event for British
manufacturer PWM, which designs and manufactures high performance cold
welding equipment and dies for the world market.
Steve Mepsted,
managing director of
PWM, said: “We
were surprised by
the high turnout.
Visitor traffic was
excellent and our
stand was busy
every day, right up to
the last day.
“Visitor quantity
and quality were
both good, with a
large number of
prospective buyers
from Vietnam, India,
Pakistan and Jordan.
We also received
numerous sales leads, and the larger machines in our range, such as the EP500,
P1000 and P1500 rod welders, proved particularly popular with manufacturers
looking for a fast, cost-efficient method of welding large non-ferrous rod
sections.”
