Digital Issue 02/2026

In this main-trade fair issue, WIRE reports on the exhibits that visitors can expect in Düsseldorf. From 13 to 17 April, the industry will be presenting at “wire 2026” new machines, technologies and trends expected for the coming years. WIRE shows the highlights in advance. Trade fairs not only provide insight into new machines, technologies, materials and services, but also offer the opportunity to assess one’s own market position and identify potential new markets – in other words, orientation. This is particularly important now that many things that were once considered certain no longer are. The organiser, Messe Düsseldorf, expects more than 2,700 exhibitors from 65 countries to present their innovations on approximately 120,000m² of exhibition space, covering the entire industrial value chain.
With the new ‘World of Cables’, ‘wire 2026’ is adding an extra highlight: for the first time, the end product cable will take the centre stage in the special area in hall 13. Another highlight: the new ‘wire & Cable Forum’ will also be presented for the first time in hall 13.
WIRE magazine itself will be present at ‘wire 2026’ at the Netzwerkdraht joint stand in hall 9 booth C 13.
