New contracts, new appointments and a novel
way of providing electricity are very much the
theme running through the Corporate News
section in this issue of
EuroWire
.
Tratos Cables has won a contract to supply wiring
for three container ships, all responsible for taking
goods all over the globe, while a number of
companies have employed new sta in a variety of
roles, which is all excellent news for the industry.
A French zoo is also very much looking to the
future by building a new processing plant to
convert waste into electricity!
The zoo is building a $3m facility to generate
electricity by burning biogas – collected from
animal droppings and other organic waste. The
full story can be found on page 7.
Also in this issue we are taking a look at the wire
and cable industry in the UK in the nal of our
‘Focus On’features. It’s encouraging to see not only
a proud history of achievement for UK companies,
but also for investment for the future. The feature
starts on page 30.
On page 38 you can catch up with all the latest
developments fromcompanies in the compounds,
colourants and masterbatches sector.
This is also an ideal opportunity to remind readers
to send us their editorial, free of charge, for use in
the September issue of sister publication
Wire &
Cable ASIA
.
The magazine will be looking forward to
the Southeast Asia exhibition in Thailand, in
September.
