SAMP’s China cheer

THE recent wire China exhibition in Shanghai has confirmed its status as one of the most important international trade fairs for the industry, according to Italian manufacturer SAMP. “It was an even greater triumph than we expected,” said Dominique Perroud, managing director of SAMP Shanghai. “The 2014 edition of wire China had an extraordinary number of visitors and a powerful media impact, and it also reaffirmed its international vocation. “All this gave us an opportunity to show ground-breaking innovations from our comprehensive range of wire and cable manufacturing solutions for sustainable and efficient manu- facturing. “We were pleasantly surprised by the interest of customers and by the quantity of new sales contacts that were made throughout the exhibition. The wire China show surely met and even exceeded all of our expectations.” SAMP, a global provider of turnkey solutions for wire and cable manufacturing, presented many technological innovations at the exhibition, including hi-tech rod breakdown machines for non-ferrous wire, double-twist bunchers and innovative spoolers. One of these breakthrough machines is the new double-twist bunching machine BM 630 E, a high-performance,

enhanced version of its best-selling buncher, characterised by an innovative energy efficient architecture for high power factor, the possibility of an infinite adjustment of the main production parameters at the control panel and the ability to run without human intervention thanks to the SAMP automatic traversing system. The key features and technical solutions adopted are the result of careful analyses of customers’ requests.

Emphasis on quality Increased demand for western goods and machines was noted at the Eder stand at the recent wire China exhibition in Shanghai. The company experienced a good return on visitors to its stand during the first two days of the show, with an increase in number from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Malaysia and India. Quality is also appearing to be far more important to the Chinese market with many companies forgoing cheaper machines on offer.
