CII and Messe Düsseldorf to jointly
organise Wire & Cable India
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Messe Düsseldorf are to be joint
organisers of Wire & Cable India, an important trade fair on the Indian sub-continent for
this sector.
The agreement was signed by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, director general of CII, and
Mr Hans-Werner Reinhard, vice president of Messe Düsseldorf, Germany.
The organisers believe this move will provide a boost to wire and cable companies in
India and worldwide. “Two leading trade fair organisers, pooling their strengths and
expertise, make the platform even more attractive to international export-oriented
companies to enter the Indian growth market,” said Mr Banerjee.
Mr Reinhard welcomed the union as an excellent addition to Messe Düsseldorf’s
international trade fair portfolio. “The Indian market is becoming increasingly important
for the wire and cable industry, primarily due to growth in the sectors of building
and construction, automobile, aviation, energy, engineering and telecommunications,”
he said.
Wire & Cable India will be held for the third time from 18th to 20th November 2010.
The previous show, held two years ago, attracted 223 exhibiting companies including
56 suppliers from Europe. The net exhibition space measured 3,600m2 and drew
8,000 trade visitors from within India, South-East Asia and the Middle East.
The 2010 fair, to be held at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai, has already
received bookings for large area options.
Messe Düsseldorf, with its subsidiary, Messe Düsseldorf India, will be responsible for
bringing in exhibitors from all over the world. The founder of Wire & Cable India, CII,
will remain the coordinating partner for Messe Düsseldorf and Messe Düsseldorf
India, with a strong commitment to supporting visitor promotion in organising the
international conference.
