WCA March 2014

Expansion, contract wins and machinery launches There is a rich vein of expansions, new contract wins and successful launches of plants and machinery in this issue of Wire & Cable ASIA . Whether it is our lead story on SAMP winning two projects in China (page 8), Pohang Steelworks celebrating the start of operations at its wire rod mill in Korea (page 12), or any number of companies offering and launching new machinery and products (page 35), the good news flows from front to back. And this is, of course, before the wire and cable industry migrates en-masse for one week to D ü sseldorf in Germany for wire 2014. Our coverage, including descriptions of some of the exhibiting companies, starts on page 62.

Additional coverage of the exhibition, between 7 th and 11 th April, can also be found in the March issue of our sister publication, EuroWire .

Please also feel free to call in to our stand 11D28 at D ü sseldorf where copies of all our magazines are available free of charge.

See you there!
