Wire 2014: Great demand
The more than 2,500 international exhibitors from the wire, cable and tube industries can look back on five successful trade fair days at the trade fair venue Düsseldorf with two leading fairs Wire 2014 and Tube 2014.
„The trade fairs took place at exactly the right time. Now several companies are planning on investing in order to position themselves for continued competition,“ explained Joachim Schäfer, Managing Director accountable for the fairs at Messe Düsseldorf. The exhibitors, most of them globally active, presented themselves to the 72,000 trade visitors that travelled to the exhibition halls on the river Rhine from 104 different countries.
1,300 companies from 54 different countries
More than 1,300 companies from 54 different countries came to attend Wire 2014. They occupied a space of approximately 58,500 m2 – a minor increase compared to figures of Wire 2012. The choice of products in exhibition halls 9 to 12 and 15 to 17 ranged from machines and equipment for wire production and proc-essing to tools and auxiliary materials for process engineering to materials and specialty wires.
The mesh welding machinery section was presented combined under one roof for the first time. Roughly 20 companies showed their products in hall 16. The exhibitors appreciated the professional competence of the visitors and the high quality of the discussions at the booths.
