All eyes look to
Asia exhibition
New technology and solutions are the highlight for both
exhibitors and visitors alike at this year’s wire Southeast
Asia, being staged in Bangkok, Thailand, from 17 th to 19th
September.
The region is fast becoming a manufacturing and
industrial hub for many global companies, clearly
emphasised by more than 300 exhibitors taking up
residence at the Bangkok International Trade and
Exhibition Centre for the three-day event.
Innovations and trends on high-performing machinery,
processing and automation in the wire and cable industry
feature heavily throughout the exhibition.
Our coverage starts on page 66. And whether you are
exhibiting or just visiting, please feel free to stop at our
stand J01 and collect your free copy of Wire & Cable
ASIA.
Also in this issue is a report on the latest study from
Integer Research – Wire & Cable Focus Report: Middle
East and North Africa Markets – which provides a
detailed analysis on the effects of the Arab Spring and
the potential growth in the region to 2017.
The report clearly shows that the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) markets grew by 5.4 per cent in 2012, and
this should increase further by the rebuilding and opening
up of some further markets to 2017. You can see the
report for yourself on page 12.
The replacement of the eastern span of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is still causing problems,
with 32 bolts failing and putting the $6.4 billion project on
hold. The re-opening was scheduled for Labor Day in
early September, traditionally the
end of the summer in the USA.
Catch the latest on this in ‘From
the Americas’ on page 59.
