Global exhibitors from all over the world meet at the Metal Trade Fair Summit 2024 in Düsseldorf

With over 2,000 exhibitors from 65 countries, wire and Tube 2024 will once again impressively assert their position as leading international trade fairs for the key industries of wire, cable, tubes, pipes and their supplier industries.

Over 100,000 square metres of the Düsseldorf Fairgrounds are occupied. Trade visitors from all over the world are expected. With around two thirds of the exhibitors, wire and Tube are among the trade fairs with the highest internationality in Messe Düsseldorf's portfolio. They come mainly from the strong European production countries, from the USA, Central and South America, Asia and the African continent.

"The Düsseldorf trade fair venue is the absolute front-place for the wire and Tube sectors when it comes to presenting innovations from the relevant industries to a broad, international audience," says a delighted Daniel Ryfisch, Director wire/Tube & Flow Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.

In addition to the classic themes such as machinery and equipment for wire, cable and tube production, processing and end products, wire and Tube place a strong focus on topics such as stainless steel, hydrogen, plastic tubes, cutting and slitting technologies and e-mobility. In addition, the topics of fastening and joining technologies, spring manufacturing technology and glass fibre technologies continue to move to the fore.

The main industries here are the chemical, oil and gas sectors, the automotive industry, the construction sector and the entire telecommunications sector.
