Interwire 2023

Inspired manufacturing

From 9 to 11 May, the "Interwire" trade fair took place in Atlanta, Georgia/USA, organised by the Wire Association International (WAI).

More than 300 companies presented their products and services in Atlanta, including many European companies from the spring, wire and cable machine industry. With WIRE, we particularly support the entry of European companies into the American market. On this page we have compiled a compact summary of information from the exhibitors at the fair. Climate change infrastructure and investment programmes on both sides of the Atlantic are attracting new companies and strengthening the interest of those already active in this field. This trend was clearly reflected both in the products exhibited at the fair and in the presentations.
