Many of the companies featured in this issue will also be exhibiting at the “Cable & Wire Fair” in New Delhi, India. Not all exhibitor information was available in time for the print edition. We have, of course, added this information for you online. Several Indian manufacturers are also presenting their products in this issue of WIRE. In the field of cable production, we present several stranders and look at fast rewinding in addition to extrusion. The marking of cables and optical fibres is also covered in the report. There is a contribution from Austria on wire coating and hairpins for electric motor construction. In line with the focus topic, we also present a new wire rope. WIRE also reports on the International Congress of Spring Industry in Versailles, France, on a new sorting device for springs and a system for ensuring the quality of industrial springs.

Next year, WIRE will turn 75 (1951–2026) and its publisher, Meisenbach, will celebrate its 90th anniversary. The “wire” can look back on 40 years at the Düsseldorf trade fair location. Enough reasons to celebrate.

However, the current mood in the industry and market conditions are still standing in the way. The outlook is cautiously wait-and-see. The hope is that the economy will brighten up before and during “wire” and that positive impetus will emanate from the world’s leading trade fair for the wire and cable industry. WIRE is read in Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. To mark our anniversary next year, we would be delighted to hear from the reader who lives furthest away from our publishing house in 96050 Bamberg, Germany. It would be great to receive a personal photo with the magazine in your hands and your exact address.

We wish you an enjoyable read of our fourth WIRE print issue of the year!
