CII and Messe Düsseldorf to jointly organise Wire & Cable India The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Messe Düsseldorf are to be joint organisers of Wire & Cable India, an important trade fair on the Indian sub-continent for this sector. The agreement was signed by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, director general of CII, and Mr Hans-Werner Reinhard, vice president of Messe Düsseldorf, Germany. The organisers believe this move will provide a boost to wire and cable companies in India and worldwide. “Two leading trade fair organisers, pooling their strengths and expertise, make the platform even more attractive to international export-oriented companies to enter the Indian growth market,” said Mr Banerjee. Mr Reinhard welcomed the union as an excellent addition to Messe Düsseldorf’s international trade fair portfolio. “The Indian market is becoming increasingly important for the wire and cable industry, primarily due to growth in the sectors of building and construction, automobile, aviation, energy, engineering and telecommunications,” he said. Wire & Cable India will be held for the third time from 18 th to 20 th November 2010. The previous show, held two years ago, attracted 223 exhibiting companies including 56 suppliers from Europe. The net exhibition space measured 3,600m 2 and drew 8,000 trade visitors from within India, South-East Asia and the Middle East. The 2010 fair, to be held at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai, has already received bookings for large area options. Messe Düsseldorf, with its subsidiary, Messe Düsseldorf India, will be responsible for bringing in exhibitors from all over the world. The founder of Wire & Cable India, CII, will remain the coordinating partner for Messe Düsseldorf and Messe Düsseldorf India, with a strong commitment to supporting visitor promotion in organising the international conference.
