HOSN delight at wire China

THE latest edition of wire China featured industry leaders from all corners of the globe and presented an excellent opportunity for both exhibitors and visitors alike. Shanghai HOSN took up 180m 2 of central exhibition space where it showcased the latest technical innovations, provided a meeting area for consulting with clients, and impressed onlookers with its visual presentations. With corporate synergy at its core and a progressive company-wide strategy, HOSN was primed to leverage its key strengths to create prosperous business relationships. Under the pragmatic leadership of its general manager David Xu and operating under the auspices of Hold Manufacturing since 1999, HOSN has grown organically and always looked to maximise its global outreach. True to form clients and suppliers alike, from the EMEA, the Americas and Asia, were attracted to its prime real estate. Welcomed by an international and multi-lingual staff, it was an excellent focal point for all. The centrepieces were the twist strander and laying up/ armouring machines which flanked the exhibit and attracted much praise. For a company once branded ‘energetic’ by a foreign counterpart, HOSN lived up to its billing. The proactive regional sales force engaged downstream members of its supply chain whilst hospitality staff

message: ‘We are the benchmark, we are the wiring company that China deserves.’ Shanghai HOSN – China Website : www.hosnglobe.com

Windak’s popularity

The Windak stand introduced its latest offers through the new line QuickPack QP3, a fully automatic cable coiling and packaging machine, which proved popular. Its concept is based on simplicity and maximum output. The model has been designed to accommodate a range of product diameter up to 7mm with maximum speed up to eight coils per minute. This new generation machine is faster, with more servo control and fewer settings, and is claimed to give customers a quicker return. Windak OU – Estonia Website : www.windakgroup.com

wire China has grown into one of the main events in the wire and cable calendar – and Windak has attended each one since 2008. The company finds the exhibition an ideal opportunity to meet up with existing customers, and to gather information on new trends and the general market. Many organisations and companies have based cable production in China due to the large market and potential sales. The general labour cost is steadily increasing and companies are seizing the opportunity to look to automation of machinery, with Windak placed to help in the market place.
