The attention turns to China

wire 2012 in Düsseldorf was a resounding success for many of the Asian companies I spoke to during the week.

One thing that shone through more than anything during the week was the optimism to be found within the industry, this no doubt backed up by the positive leads many customers collected. There were many tales of new business being discussed, hopefully most of which will turn into positive orders, and some launches of new products from the likes of Dow and Borouge and Borealis, both of which will feature in later issues of Wire & Cable ASIA . Some companies also chose the showcase exhibition to introduce new technology to the market, Queins among them who unveiled a new heavy-duty rigid stranding cage (page 35). A definite increase in the number of exhibitors from both China and India also showed how boisterous the region is, and this can only be good with attention now turning to the 13 th Guangzhou International Wire Exhibition in June. A list of exhibitors for this show in Guangzhou, China, can be found on page 48. The interest in this exhibition has already reached record levels with an increase in floor space booked and more exhibitors than ever on display from 19 th -21 st June. On a more personal note I would like to say thank you on behalf of all the staff of Wire & Cable ASIA for the warm reception and greetings we received from many of the companies we spoke to.
