“Wire is going well and customer interest is high. Almost
everyone feels that business is picking up,” was the view of
Benedikt Niemeyer, CEO of Schmolz + Bickenbach, a global
player in the steel sector.
HowardFancher,ofHuestisMachineCorporation,sensed interest
and excitement for the future. “The wire Düsseldorf show was
fresh and excitingwith people focused on new technology and
getting thebestbang for theircapital spendingdollars.
“I am told that the [visitor] numberswere lower than previous
shows, but you could not prove it by me. Our booth was
swamped each day with eager customers looking to find
equipment that is new and innovating, aswell as giving them
what they need to be successful in their business. I sawmany
new, young faces trying to soak it all in and take away the best
ideas to further their respective companies. I rate the show a
huge success.”
Visitors gave “very good” to “good” ratings for the events. Five
trade fair days saw a total of 69,200 trade visitors come to the
exhibitionhalls.Theproportionof international trade fairvisitors

No one with responsibility for handling wire and cable will underestimate the importance of
the equipment under review here. An expertly executed spooling, reeling or other packaging
operation does notmerely complement a awless production run, it is an essential element of the
