WCA May 2019

Golden domes and Red Square – it’s wire Russia Golden domes, Red Square, the Kremlin. It can be only one city: Moscow. For three days in June, the largest city on the European continent will welcome exhibitors and visitors alike for the staging of wire Russia – one of the most important shows in the wire and cable calendar. Whether first-time visitor or returning, the networking opportunities provided by the show are limitless. Target groups are from across the industry, including wire, cable and spring manufacturing and production. Automobile, construction, chemicals and electrical groups will lead the way at the A0 Expocentre at Krasnaya Presnya. Our coverage of the event starts on page 46, but there are more extensive details in the May issue of sister publication EuroWire . Elsewhere in this issue, it is celebration time for UK-based Alloy Wire International, which has recorded its best ever month in its 73-year history, shipping more than £1.2m worth of high-performance nickel alloys to customers worldwide. Turn to page 10 for more details.

Moving on to page 25 will lead to another success story for a UK manufacturer. This time, lubricants specialist Metalube Ltd features after it recorded a 50 per cent increase in the South East Asia region for its Rope-Tek WRD range.
