Spring into 2020 and wire Düsseldorf

Whilst we are heading into the winter season, the thoughts of those in the wire and cable industry are already drifting towards spring – and wire Düsseldorf. The biennial staging of the largest and most important exhibition in the industry calendar is already beginning to loom a little larger on the horizon, some ve months ahead of the week-long fair. And as if to emphasise this, organisers Messe Düsseldorf have already announced that it is likely that the 2020 edition will provide a record number of exhibitors, all willing to share the latest technologies and advances in the industry. Registration of companies from Turkey, India and Taiwan has already exceeded that of two years ago, whilst strong participation from businesses in Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Central and Eastern Europe a rms the con dence.

65,000m 2 of net exhibition space – has already outgrown the exhibition of two years ago as companies display machinery and equipment for wire manufacturing and nishing, process technology tools and auxiliaries, special wires and cables, measuring and control equipment and inspection engineering. For the latest information, turn to page 20 in this issue of EuroWire .

New machinery, plants and sta feature in this issue, as does a closer look at the industry in Britain with our regular feature ‘Focus On’ highlighting the industry in the UK. This starts on page 40. investment,
