EuroWire March 2018

Interest peaking as Düsseldorf gears up for wire 2018

Record trading gures for companies, forthcoming exhibitions in China and the USA, company expertise and anniversary celebrations all feature in this latest issue of EuroWire . But it is wire 2018 in Düsseldorf, Germany, that rightly steals the headlines. Turning to page 90 will give you an insight into more than 100 pages dedicated to the week-long exhibition at the city’s fairgrounds. Record numbers of exhibitors will, no doubt, be impressed by the number of visitors, with some 70,000 people expected to pour into the city. There is also an interview with Friedrich Kehrer, of organisers Messe Düsseldorf, who outlines what will be happening in the 16 halls at the exhibition, which runs alongside Tube 2018. He also touches on the boom in the industries on a global scale, citing the considerable sums of money being invested in infrastructure projects, construction and the automotive

industries in Southeast Asia, South America, parts of Africa and across Europe. And while Germany’s European neighbours are again expected to be out in force at the exhibition, an increasing number of visitors are expected from the USA, Brazil, India and China. The interest is now clearly peaking for the show with companies outlining their activities right through to page 192.
