The waiting is almost over as wire and cable
companies from around the world prepare to
head to Düsseldorf, Germany, for wire 2014.
The most eagerly anticipated exhibition in the
calendar bursts into life from 7
th
to 11
th
April,
and judging by the news in our 224-page issue
of
EuroWire
, there will be no shortage of new
technology, products and developments on show.
Readers will not be surprised that much of this
issue has been dedicated to wire 2014, with a
108-page section outlining just some of the
companies attending.
The encouraging sign for the industry in general is
the amount of news; new sta , contract wins and
technological developments are all in abundance.
Taiwan’s largest steel producer, China Steel
Corporation, has enlisted the help of Friedrich
Kocks in installing new machinery in a bid to
increase production and quality. The full story can
be found on page 9.
A new motorised double spooler from Italy’s PS
Costruzioni is the pick of the technology stories,
and this can be read in full on page 48.
Our wire 2014 section starts on page 82 and will
hopefully be of interest to you as you plan your
way through the halls of the week-long exhibition.
wire 2014 is also good for another reason. It is
the ideal meeting place to renew old friendships,
make new ones and catch up at your own pace
with what has happened during the last two years.
Please feel free to stop by our stand 11D28. Not
only are there free copies of
EuroWire
,
Wire & Cable
ASIA
and
wiredInUSA
available, you will also be
assured of a warm welcome from all the INTRAS
