EoW March 2009

O nce again, Moscow’s ZAO Expocentr at the Krasnaya Presnya fairgrounds will be the setting for the concurrent trade shows wire Russia, Tube Russia and Metallurgy-Litmash. The biennial exhibition will take place from 12 th to 15 th May 2009, and the doors for all three shows will be open from 10am until 6pm, daily. The 2007 event attracted over 13,500 trade visitors from throughout the Russian Federation, and beyond, and over 230 exhibitors from 29 countries across the world. Both visitor and exhibitor numbers have increased year-on-year since the launch of the show in 2003, reflecting the increasing stature and importance of the show and of the keen interest in innovation in Russia coupled with steady growth in the area’s economy. Main product areas of interest at wire Russia will include wire manufacturing and finishing machinery (including fastener and spring manufacturing), process technology tools and materials, measuring and control technology, and special wires and cables. Organised by Messe Düsseldorf GmbH and VNIIKP, the All-Russian Scientific Research and Development Cable Institute, wire Russia has the support of IWCEA (International Wire & Cable Exhibitors Association), IWMA (International Wire & Machinery Association), ICIMAF (Italian Wire Machinery Manufacturers Association) and WCISA (Wire and Cable Industry Suppliers Association).
