The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the leading industrial apex body engaged in organising international trade fairs and Messe Düsseldorf, the successful organiser of international trade fairs for the wire, cable and tube industries, will henceforth jointly organise Wire & Cable India, the most important trade fair on the Indian sub-continent for this sector. An agreement to this effect was recently signed by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII, and Mr Hans-Werner Reinhard, Vice President of Messe Düsseldorf, Germany.

The organisers believe this move will provide a boost to of wire and cable companies in India and worldwide. “The two leading trade fair organisers, pooling their strengths and expertise, makes the platform even more attractive to international export-oriented companies to enter the Indian growth market”, said Mr Banerjee. Mr Reinhard welcomed the union as an excellent supplement to Messe Düsseldorf’s international trade fair portfolio.  “The Indian market is becoming increasingly important for the wire and cable industry, primarily due to growth in the sectors of building and construction, automobile, aviation, energy, engineering and telecommunications. At Wire & Cable India, we add our rich experience in the organisation of high-technology fairs”, he said.

The Confederation of Indian Industry plays a proactive role in the development of the country, and supports both the political and private business spheres in a consultative capacity. CII enjoys a great reputation the world over as an organiser of prestigious Conferences and Trade Fairs for various sectors of industry in India and in other continents.

The previous edition, held two years ago, attracted 223 exhibiting firms including 56 suppliers from Europe. The net exhibition space measured 3,600 sq m, and drew 8,000 trade visitors from within India, South-East Asia and the Middle East. The  2010 Fair, to be held at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai, has alreasdy received bookings for  large area options.
