Industry looks to Düsseldorf full of expectations: wire 2010 and Tube 2010 – stronger than ever!

» GERMAN (DEUTSCH) VERSION

Just under four weeks to go until doors open. wire 2010 and Tube 2010, the two No.1 trade fairs for the wire, cable and tube processing industries will be presenting forward-looking technologies, current techniques and latest services in the exhibition halls on the Rhine from 12 to 16 April.

For the twelfth time now the International Wire and Cable Trade Fair (wire) and the International Tube and Pipe Trade Fair (Tube) are to be held concurrently at Düsseldorf fairgrounds.

The sector has moved out of the trough of 2009 and now looks to Düsseldorf expectantly. Being leaders in their respective fields, both trade fairs have succeeded in increasing their exhibitor numbers over the record year 2008!

wire 2010:
For wire 1,216 companies have registered over 52,000 square metres of exhibition space so far! This corresponds to a 7.1% increase in exhibitors. In terms of area occupied, however, wire loses just under 1,400 square metres and hence 2.8 % compared to 2008.

The exhibits on display at wire 2010 range from wire manufacturing and finishing machinery to process engineering tools and auxiliaries not forgetting raw materials and special wires. Furthermore, innovations from the areas of cable, measuring and control technology as well as test engineering are presented. Specialist areas such as logistics, conveying systems and packaging round off the ranges that occupy the exhibition Halls 9 to 12 and 15 to 17.

New is the segmentation in Halls 15 to 17: Fastener Technology will be featured with latest technologies in Hall 15. In parts of Hall 16 the latest processes in Spring Making will be on show. All applications related to wire and cable, wire and cable machinery as well as fibreglass machines can be found in Halls 9 to 12 and 16 to 17.

Tube 2010:
Tube will be held in Halls 1 to 7 and Hall 7a. 1,167 exhibitors will be displaying their innovations on a total exhibition area of 44,575 square metres. This means that compared to the previous event in 2008 Tube has grown by 12% in terms of the number of exhibiting companies and by 7% (just above 3,000 square metres) in terms of area occupied.

On show will be the entire spectrum from tube and pipe making and finishing to processing. The ranges include raw materials, tubes and accessories, tube manufacturing machinery and rebuilt and reconditioned machinery, process engineering tools and auxiliaries plus measuring and control technology. Test engineering and special segments such as warehouse automation and control and monitoring systems round off the extensive product portfolio.              

Tube trading and stockists also occupy a prominent place. After the successful premiere in 2008 the segments Pipelines and OCTG Technology (oil country tubular goods) will also be featured again.

Debut: A special show focusing on profiles/sections and section engineering! Both plants and machinery for manufacturing sections and finished products in a variety of materials and cross-sections will be exhibited.
