wire 2012/Tube 2012 Press Release No. 3/April 2011

Two Success Stories … to be continued: wire 2012 and Tube 2012 – to be held again concurrently in Düsseldorf in a year’s time

In one year that time will have come round again: the two global No. 1 trade fairs wire and Tube will run concurrently for the 13th time now in Düsseldorf from 26 to 30 March 2012. On show will be innovations from the areas of wire, cable and tube processing industries.                   

2010 saw a total of 2,391 exhibitors showcase the latest technologies and applications on over 96,000 square metres of exhibition space. To the tune of 69,000 trade visitors from 100 countries travelled to Düsseldorf to gather information, make new business contacts and place concrete orders.                 

wire 2012: fastener and spring making in focus
At wire, the International Wire and Cable Fair, everything will revolve around wire, cable and fibreglass machinery as well as wire and cable production and wire and cable trade. Exhibitors from these areas will be presented in Halls 9 to 12 and 16 and 17.

Alongside these traditional segments two subjects will be in particular focus: Fastener Technology in Hall 15 and Spring Making in Hall 16. Machinery and plants for making springs and fasteners will be displayed on total exhibition space of just under 11,000 square metres. Be it finished products or machinery in operation – in Halls 15 and 16 you will find tomorrow’s technologies hands-on!

wire 2010 was attended by 1,217 exhibitors who presented their machines and equipment on net exhibition space of 51,823 square metres. Some 37,000 international guests attended wire 2010.

Tube 2012: stronger focus on section technology       
The companies participating at Tube, the International Tube and Pipe Trade Fair, will be exhibiting in Halls 1 to 7 and in Hall 7a. Tube accessories can be found in Halls 1 and 2 while tube manufacturing and tube trade follow on from this in parts of Halls 2, 3 and 4 as well as in Hall 7. Hall 5 is reserved for tube forming technology and tube working machines follow in Halls 6 and 7a. Furthermore, Hall 7a is also home to the latest machinery and equipment.

Tube concentrates on its core segments even more than in 2010. These include tube making and tube processing machines, fasteners and section technology. Approximately 10% of trade fair guests took an interest in machines for processing sections thereby making the event a successful debut for this new exhibition segment which is planned to enjoy an even greater exposure in 2012.
