Digital Issue 03/2026

The WIRE anniversary issue has arrived – together with our readers and business partners, we are celebrating 75 years of WIRE (1951–2026). Join us in celebrating. The first issue of WIRE was published in 1951 by Prost+Meiner Verlag in Coburg. This marked the beginning of a tradition that continues to this day under the Meisenbach Verlag publishing house in Bamberg. We see ourselves as a “companion to the industry”, acting as a link between machine manufacturers, users, suppliers and service providers. Our relationship with universities and research institutes goes back just as far. Through the magazine, the spring, wire and cable industry has a voice abroad. Under the motto “That was tomorrow”, companies report on ideas that were rejected at the time but are now gaining relevance once again. We are also delighted by the many congratulatory messages we have received from companies and associations.
