The leading international trade fairs wire and Tube will be held concurrently again from 24 to 28 April 2006 in Düsseldorf.

Around 1,700 international companies are expected to participate, introducing new technology and product developments from the wire & cable and tube & pipe industries.

In 2004, the two trade fairs welcomed a total of 1,700 exhibitors from 47 countries and occupied an exhibition area of 75,300 m2. More than 61,000 visitors from five continents gathered information on new technologies for the production and processing of wire, cable and tube & pipe. 2004 thus set a new attendance record for the two trade fairs in Düsseldorf!
