EoW July 2013

New contracts, new appointments and a novel way of providing electricity are very much the theme running through the Corporate News section in this issue of EuroWire . Tratos Cables has won a contract to supply wiring for three container ships, all responsible for taking goods all over the globe, while a number of companies have employed new sta in a variety of roles, which is all excellent news for the industry. A French zoo is also very much looking to the future by building a new processing plant to convert waste into electricity! The zoo is building a $3m facility to generate electricity by burning biogas – collected from animal droppings and other organic waste. The full story can be found on page 7. Also in this issue we are taking a look at the wire and cable industry in the UK in the nal of our ‘Focus On’features. It’s encouraging to see not only a proud history of achievement for UK companies, but also for investment for the future. The feature starts on page 30. On page 38 you can catch up with all the latest developments fromcompanies in the compounds, colourants and masterbatches sector. This is also an ideal opportunity to remind readers to send us their editorial, free of charge, for use in the September issue of sister publication Wire & Cable ASIA . The magazine will be looking forward to the Southeast Asia exhibition in Thailand, in September.
