From installing wiring in London’s new landmark,
The Shard, to increasing FTTH in more than
63,000 households in the Netherlands and new
o ces opening around the globe, wire and cable
companies are clearly looking to the long-term
future.
Whilst economical di culties may be felt
throughout Europe, speci cally Greece, research
and development and planning for future
generations is an on-going process harbouring
the latest technological advances.
And it is those advances that will be clear for all to
see when wire 2012 in D
ü
sseldorf opens its doors
on 26
th
March.
This is the ideal opportunity for the industry’s
leading engineers and specialists to see rst hand
the progress being made by exhibitors – and their
competitors.
Tens of thousands of visitors are expected at the
D
ü
sseldorf fairgrounds for the week-long event. A
sure sign of the optimism in the industry is that
there are more than 1,200 exhibitors on show.
That, surely, has to be good news for this premier
event which gives everyone the chance to gather
the latest information and interact on a global
scale.
And we are hoping that our preview show issue
can help make your route around the halls a little
easier.
Our preview of wire 2012 starts on page 74 and
covers some of the companies exhibiting at the
show. You can also nd full details of the show
catalogues on page 182.
Sta from
EuroWire
and sister publications
Wire & Cable ASIA
and
wiredInUSA
will be on
Stand 11D28 and we all
look forward to seeing
many of you there.
