Getting hot in Moscow! Global warming certainly seemed to have arrived sooner than expected in Moscow as temperatures rose for wire Russia, reaching 38˚C! But the show, between 28 th and 31 st May 2007, was also hot in other ways – with the many exhibitors experiencing busy periods throughout the four-day show.

Preliminary data provided by the organisers, Messe Düsseldorf, estimate the total number of visitors at wire Russia and Tube Russia 2007 at 13,500 – an increase of more than 12% from 2005. Whilst the overall number of exhibitors at wire Russia 2007 was similar to 2005 it is interesting to note that there has been a reduction in the quantity of Russian ones but an increase in international exhibitors of nearly 4%, with organisations from 29 countries, including national groups from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, UK, USA and Spain. The reduction in local exhibitors is probably largely due to the consolidation that has been taking place in the Russian industry. Exhibition space sold showed an increase of 3.5% against the comparable 2005 event. wire Russia 07 (Messe Düsseldorf) – Russia Fax : +49 211 4560 668 Email : infoservice@messeduesseldorf.de Website : www.messeduesseldorf.de Show’s increase in demand Nextrom Oy, Finland, and Rosendahl Maschinen GmbH, Austria, found wire Russia 2007 to be a successful event, with many visitors to the companies’ booth, including key people from Russia and CIS countries.
