INDEX

There is always something satisfying seeing stories about the creation of new jobs and investment. So it's with little wonder that our main story this month concentrates on Southwire's $95m expansion project in Carroll County, Georgia. That investment will lead to a further 375 jobs – in addition to the 689 already created in Carroll County and Coffee County over the last two years. It's also fantastic to see the area's politicians and authorities working in harmony with the company in a bid to drive the region's economy and safeguard jobs. This, it seems, is recognized by all parties concerned with Southwire president CEO Stu Thorn praising the hometown of Carrollton, which "has contributed immeasurably to our success." You can read the full story on page 9. There's also a large section of this issue devoted to the IWCS technical symposium and exhibition, which starts on page 44. For those of you attending the show in Charlotte, North Carolina, please stop by booth 605 where you can get your free CD copy of wiredInUSA, and copies of sister publications EuroWire and Wire & Cable ASIA.
