The magazine WIRE has been a fixture in our industry for three-quarters of a century now and has become an integral part of the communications landscape of the Association of the German Spring Industry (VDFI). It has always served as a platform for current information, practical technical articles, and scientific publications from the wire and spring industry. It provides insights into technical developments, highlights industry trends, covers national and international events, and promotes dialogue among companies, experts, and institutions.

The WIRE magazine impresses not only with its technical depth, but also with the diversity of its content and its editorial quality. It covers the broad spectrum of our industry – from materials engineering and manufacturing technology to market analyses and standardization topics. This balance makes it an indispensable source of information for our members and beyond.

Especially in times of change and digital transformation, it is more important than ever for a trade journal to provide guidance, consolidate knowledge, and foster dialogue within the industry. The WIRE magazine fulfills this role with a great sense of responsibility and foresight.

On behalf of the German Spring Industry Association, we would like to thank everyone involved – especially the editorial team, the authors, and our long-time readers – for their trust and valuable collaboration.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations on the 75th anniversary and wish the WIRE magazine continued success, fresh inspiration, and a steadily growing readership in the years to come.
