One year to the start of Düsseldorf’s No. 1 trade fairs for wire, cable and pipes (wire and Tube from 16 to 20 April 2018) these industries are looking to the future with optimism. Despite sustained insecurities on the global steel market in terms of possible penalties and import restrictions, the ranges on show at the global No. 1 trade fairs wire 2018 and Tube 2018 whet the appetite for more: late April saw the registration deadline for exhibitors and interested companies can contact the project departments for wire (bagcic@messe-duesseldorf.de) and Tube (AhrensG@messe-duesseldorf.de) to be included in waiting lists.
