The long-awaited return of wire India, which takes place in Mumbai from 23 to 25 November, is highlighted in this issue of Wire & Cable ASIA. Exhibitor descriptions can be found spread throughout the issue, clearly identified with the exhibition logo. The opening up of exhibitions has been a welcome feature of 2022, with many countries again playing host to the staging of traditional shows, providing not only the opportunity to expand technical knowledge, but to renew acquaintances, new and old, that have been nurtured over many years. After such an absence, it also provides a perfect chance to explore new projects that are impacting on our industry worldwide. The strengthening of relationships is highlighted on page 10 as Germany-based lune and Unitek Japan once again agreed to continue their partnership after meeting at this year’s wire exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany. lune, a supplier of in-line contact-free temperature measurement systems, sees the Japanese market as a core part of its strategy and has teamed up with Unitek, a supplier to the country’s cable and wire producing industry, which represents some of the country’s major European brands. Continuing the theme of Europe/Asia relationships, Tenova and SteelAsia Manufacturing Corporation have entered into a partnership for Consteel Evolution, a low-impact technology for steel manufacturing. It will be the first of its kind in the Philippines and will be employed in SteelAsia’s new melt shop in 2024 in Batangas. Full details on page 19. UK-based AEI Cables has been awarded a contract to supply fire performance and low voltage cables for a major expansion of the United Christian Hospital in Hong Kong.
