Messe Düsseldorf is reporting that, with eight months still to go before the start of the wire Düsseldorf exhibition, international exhibitors already occupy more net exhibition space than was the case during the same period two years ago. Total booked space (at the end of August 2009) is already 50,000 square metres. As a result, exhibition Halls 9 to 12 and 15 to 17 are quite full, but individual stands are still available.

The 37 th Intercable Symposium took place from June 22 nd to 25 th in Villach, Austria, where presentations about the current situation and the forecast for the world cable industry were held. At the general meeting the elections of the new IA Intercable management took place. Professor Peshkov was confirmed in his position as the president of the association, while Mr Rockenhaeuser of Germany’s Niehoff Maschinenfabrik was elected as vice-president. The elected board now consists of Mr Anvar Bulkhin from Samara Cable Company, Mr Dmitry Iorgachev from Odeskabel, Mr Gennadij Makarov from Sevkabel Holding, Mr Anti Rissanen from Maillefer SA, Mr Rene Stoeckl from Rosendahl Maschinen GmbH and Mr Evgenij Vasiliev from Trade House VNIIKP. The event programme included a visit to the Rosendahl facility to join the company’s 50 th anniversary celebrations. During the visit, participants took the opportunity to see Rosendahl production and administration at first-hand. Guided tours through the factory included the presentation of new Rosendahl technologies, such as the newly developed crosshead series RX and a high-speed running line for the production of fibre optic cable. A running line for metal tape forming and welding, used for RF cables and for shielding MV and HV cables, was also on show. The combination of presentations and the opportunity to socialise made the 37 th Intercable Symposium a successful networking event.
