EuroWire May 2019

Italian technology at its best and ready for Russia

Two European countries steal the limelight in this issue of EuroWire – Italy and Russia. Italy is the latest country to feature in our popular ‘Focus On’ feature, with Italian companies highlighting their technological advances in recent years. The wire and cable industry seems alive and well in the country, with many of the companies having long histories in their own individual area of the business. Our feature starts on page 54. Attention then turns to page 62 and the start of our coverage of wire Russia. Being staged in Moscow from 18 th to 20 th June, this is the foremost exhibition in the region, and provides an ideal opportunity for networking with customers, old and new. Additionally, Moscow provides an ideal backdrop with some spectacular monuments and features in a city of some 13.2 million people.

Kremlin, Saint Basil’s Cathedral is a masterpiece of Russian architecture, and the gold-domed roof of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, demolished during the Soviet period, now sits proudly over the city after its reconstruction between 1990 and 2000. Two other stories also grab the attention in this issue. Firstly, the sad news that Henry Clinton, founder of Clinton Instrument Company, has passed away at the age of 92. A brief obituary charting his life and the growth of the company can be found on page 10.

And USA-based Pelican Wire is to be applauded for encouraging the next generation of engineers, after hosting the Naples High School Engineering Academy in March. Turn to page 28 for the full details.
