Fresh from Düsseldorf and wire 2016, it is the turn
of the USA to stage the next major exhibition,
with Wire Expo taking centre stage in this issue of
EuroWire
.
Whether it’s for education, networking or to cast
your eyes over new developments, Wire Expo
provides an ideal opportunity for the industry’s
professionals to gather under one roof in
Uncasville, Connecticut, USA.
Organised by the Wire Association International,
the three-day conference and exhibition also
includes the‘Fundamentals ofWireManufacturing’
workshop, covering both ferrous and non-ferrous
tracks.
The workshop is staged the day before the WAI
Operations Summit and Wire Expo get underway,
ensuring you miss nothing, whether you’re a
newcomer to the industry, or you are looking to
brush up on the basics of wire manufacturing. Our
coverage starts on page 38 and includes booth
descriptions from some of the exhibitors.
In the other sections of this issue, Tenova LOI
Thermoprocess are to be congratulated on
claiming 12 new orders in the last 24 months in
the heat treatment of wire rods and drawn wires
part of the industry.
This includes companies from mainland Europe
through to the Far East. You can read the full story
on page 9.
There may not be a smooth path in working with
companies in Iran since the lifting of sanctions,
but more companies are looking to tap into the
potentially enormous solar panel market there.
See page 28.
