EoW November 2013

Scandinavia and the USA feature prominently in the November issue of EuroWire . Our popular ‘Focus On’ feature comes to an end with a look at the companies operating within the industry from Scandinavia. These companies come from a broad spectrum, including laser measurement manufacturers; industrial yarns; weighing, counting and packaging systems; extruding companies, and casting businesses. The feature starts on page 44. We are also looking forward to the 62 nd staging of the IWCS Technical Symposium in Charlotte, North Carolina, in November. Our look at the three-day event starts on page 42. And don’t forget to visit www.wiredinusa.com for our sister publication, wiredInUSA , for a more in-depth peek at the conference and some of the exhibitors heading there.

A new company, IQ Reels, as the result of a joint venture between Inosym Reels and Qunye Reels features on page 21. The launch of a new coil taping machine from Ridgway (page 28) is the leading technology story in this issue.
