EVENT WRAP-UP

wire Mexico 2025 a success

Organizers of the 2nd staging of wire Mexico 2025 and the premiere of Tube Mexico—held Feb. 11-13 as part of the established Mexican trade fair Expo Manufactura at the CINTERMEX Centro Internacional de Negocios in Monterrey—deemed the results a resounding success.

A total of 168 exhibitors from 20 countries showcased their innovations on 1,815 sq m of exhibit space at wire & Tube Mexico. Exhibitor participation at wire Mexico marks an increase of 57% compared to 2024. wire & Tube Mexico are satellite events of Messe Düsseldorf’s wire, Tube & Flow Technologies trade fair portfolio. Expo Manufactura, the International Trade Fair for Manufacturing Technology, Automation and Robotics, has been held annually in Mexico since 1996 and is managed by the international organizer Informa Markets. Together, the three trade fairs attracted 13,652 visitors from Mexico, other Latin American countries, the U.S. and Canada. “wire & Tube Mexico provided an important business platform for the Latin American wire, cable, tube and pipe sectors,” said Thomas Mitchell, president of Messe Düsseldorf North America, organizer of wire & Tube Mexico 2025. He observed that Mexico is becoming increasingly important and is a key growth market for these industries. Further, increasing investment in Mexican infrastructure is driving national demand there as well as in

the neighboring countries of Central and South America.

“More companies are discovering Mexico as an attractive market.”

A total of 120 exhibitors participated at wire Mexico 2025, while Tube Mexico had 48 exhibitors. The exhibits were supported by daily technical stage presentations and networking events. Special features at the trade fairs were the country pavilions from Germany, Italy, Austria, France and Brazil as well as a group stand of the International Wire and Machinery Association (IWMA), reflecting the global spectrum of the wire and tube sector and underlining the growing international importance of wire & Tube Mexico 2025.

Attendees and exhibitors were excited to connect, learn from one another and work together to solve problems.

Exhibitors were particularly pleased with the quality of interactions and the genuine interest shown by attendees.

Many emphasized how the event served as a catalyst for meaningful discussions and valuable partnership opportunities. “Mexico is a great growth market for Reelex,” said Reelex Vice President Sales & Services David Troy. “To participate here in the show and meet customers is an incredible opportunity. We saw multiple tiers of customers. The support here at the event is the best I have ever seen.” n

2023 Interwire attendees stream in to the show floor to see and talk to the exhibitors about their latest solutions.

INTERWIRE 2025: insights await Interwire 2025 will be a very busy experience.

It will be packed with industry-focused educational presentations, some at the WAI Theater; the show floor will host collective technology from well-known suppliers as well as dozens of firsttime exhibitors; the return to the Mercedes-Benz for the Opening Reception; and the co-location of the Global Continuous Casting Forum, all with the welcoming backdrop of the city of Atlanta.

For some attendees, the experience will start the day before the official start with the WAI’s iconic Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course.

Fittingly, the last presentation on the last day will be about WAI’s new educational video series, which was created based on the Fundamentals’ concept. In between, there will be plenty to take in, from the focus on AI/Industry 4.0 to the WAI’s honoring some of the industry’s finest.

Southwire President and CEO Rich Stinson accepts the inaugural WAI Champion Award from WAI President Kurt Breichaft.

Year after year, WAI’s day-long Fundamentals course has continued to provide the industry basics to attendees.

NEW & Noteworthy Interwire: highlights include extrusion 1st

WAI to show new video-based training tool

More than two dozen presentations are presented in the Interwire preview. Here, two of the notable speakers and a new extrusion tech initiative are singled out.

On Feb. 10th, WAI launched its new online training platform: the WAI Education Center. Attendees at Interwire 2025 will have multiple opportunities to explore the new educational content and learn how it can benefit them individually or their company at large. Just visit WAI’s Resource Center & Member Lounge on the show floor to see the platform in action.

John Markowski, WAI’s manager of education, will be there to explain what has been done and what’s to come.

Don’t miss his presentation on the last day.

Keynote Address. On Tuesday, May 13, at 9 am, Prysmian North America CEO Andrea Pirondini’s keynote address—Linking the Future: Tomorrow’s Wire Solutions—will explore the transformative changes that are shaping the wire and cable industry in the face of evolving demand. Having led the acquisition of Encore Wire and being a key player in the decision to acquire General Cable, he is well positioned to speak on industry matters. That includes why companies will need to pursue further innovation and embrace change to unlock the opportunities of a smarter, greener future.

Advanced extrusion course. On Wednesday, May 14, the WAI’s Advanced Extrusion Workshop will be hosted at Southwire’s plant in Carrollton. The three-hour, in-depth session will see industry veterans Richard Chamberlain, Hawkins Consulting, LLC, and David Skinner, vice president of operations, Joe Tools, Inc.—build on concepts taught in WAI’s Fundamentals course. Limited to 50 individuals, the group will later have VIP visits with select extrusion exhibitors on the show floor.

Keynote Address. Chris Tuff, a bestselling author and highly sought after keynote speaker, will share his insights and perspective on how companies can connect and inspire young talent of any generation. His presentation will explore the transformative changes shaping the wire and cable industry in the face of evolving demand.

He will speak Wednesday, May 14, at 9:10 am, and at 2 pm in a Fireside Chat at the WAI Theater on the show floor.

WAI Theater: the Mordica Lecture, a Gen Z guru and lots more are on the schedule The WAI Theater will once again return to the Interwire trade show floor, where it will host a total of 20 presentations. Those include seven on Tuesday, six on Wednesday—including a second session by featured speaker Chris Tuff, the Mordica Lecture by Dr. Emmanuel De Moor and Production Solutions (three parts)—and four on Thursday. Popcorn is included. Topics and presenter bios can be seen online at www.interwire25.com.

RECEPTION The setting? Why, it’s a Mercedes-Benz The location for WAI’s Opening Reception on Tuesday, May 13, will be quite familiar to Interwire attendees.

Located near the Georgia World Congress Center, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is notable for many reasons. It has some 4,000 miles of fiber-optic cables and 1,800+ wireless access points for Wi-Fi access. The fixed roof, which has 85,000 bolts, can open/close in eight minutes.

Artwork from 55 artists is displayed throughout the stadium. Indeed, it will be ... a Mercedes experience.

Sponsored by Southwire

Fundamentally speaking, you might want to be at the WAI’s iconic education course It’s worth getting to Atlanta a day early to take part in WAI’s renowned Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course. A full slate of industry veterans will be ready to share their shop-floor know-how on Monday, May 12.

Whether you are an industry newcomer or moving to new duties or could just use a refresher, this day-long program will explain the basics of wire and cable production, electrical and ferrous. See p. 74.

GCCF plant tour: Aurubis Richmond

A sold-out Interwire show floor awaits!

The newly built Aurubis Richmond LLC operation in Augusta, Georgia, will host a tour for GCCF attendees on Monday, May 12.

The tour will depart from the Georgia World Congress Center at 8 am and return at 3:30 pm. The $800 million hydrometallurgical facility can process up to 180,000 tons of complex recycling materials annually, including circuit boards, copper cables and other metal-containing products without the need for a traditional smelter. The tour is limited to 100 people, so early registration ($50) is recommended.

Global Continuous Casting Forum attendees are welcome to carve some time out to explore the some 350 companies will be represented on the show floor at the Georgia World Congress Center.

The event—the largest such one for the Americas—will include some dozens of new exhibitors. The WAI Resource Center will be on the show floor, and returning there by popular demand will be the WAI Member Lounge, where Association members can stop by and relax. To top it off, there’ll be two special attractions to be presented in the April issue. There’ll be much to see, much to do.

GCCF program: it’s utterly packed!

The GCCF starts on Tuesday, May 13, at 8:00 am with a Continental breakfast and a welcome from GCCF Chairman Chris Tucker, Encore Wire.

Then, at 8:10 am, it’s time to tackle a wide range of technical matters. Advances in Casting Technology has seven sessions, followed that afternoon by Global Cu/Al/Scrap Markets, which has five sessions. The next day, the morning features nine Copper & Aluminum Technical sessions, followed by eight Lubrication, Testing, Automation & Safety sessions. And Thursday, the final day, has eight Sustainable Operations sessions and a panel discussion.

The presenters are a blend of industry veterans from both manufacturing as well as OEMs and suppliers that are leaders in their fields. Skimming the list of scheduled presentations reinforces the idea that, this event, held every four years, is loaded with casting know-how. Which leads to another thought, enjoy the experience ... see below.

2 social events set for the GCCF ... and it could be 3 for those socially inclined As noted above, the Global Continuous Casting Forum program will cover a lot of casting ground, so it’s fitting that so is the social program for attendees. Up for a trifecta?

It starts on Monday night, May 12, at Terminus 330, the host of the GCCF Opening Reception. The site, deemed “cool, hip, and gorgeous,” is located at 330 Marietta St NW, within walking distance of the GWCC. On Tuesday, May 13, GCCF attendees can join Interwire attendees at their Opening Reception at the MercedesBenz Stadium, a site that needs no introduction. And on Wednesday, May 14, attendees will return to Ventanas, known for its stunning rooftop for the awards dinners.

Yes, it could be a grueling social schedule, but it should provide the perfect balance to the comprehensive educational program.

Linde’s Oxyfuel and Hydrogen Solutions for a Greener Aluminum Melting This paper discusses oxyfuel technology’s potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the aluminum industry. The paper underscores the latest applications of Linde’s Low-Temperature Oxy-Fuel technology (LTOF), which significantly improves melt rate and reduces fuel consumption and off-gas volume. The LTOF technology can reduce CO2 emissions by 35% by removing nitrogen from the process. Furthermore, LTOF’s hydrogen-readiness can reduce NOX emissions and oxidation on liquid Al-Mg alloys.

Reduced emissions via advanced ceramic inserts in Copper Annealing

In the copper annealing furnace, indirect heating through gas-fired radiant tubes remains the most economically viable means of heat delivery despite drawbacks of low efficiency and high emissions. Novel SiC ceramic components, developed via CFD modeling and field testing, have been successfully applied as a retrofit solution to the stated problems. A real industrial case study is presented.

The paper discusses Linde’s efforts to enhance copper smelting using oxygen and hydrogen for a more eco-friendly production process. It highlights the Copper JL burner and CoJet (Coherent Jet) lancing technologies, which work with fuels, gas blends, and hydrogen. Real-world examples illustrate how oxyfuel technologies interact with molten copper in smelters, and traditional furnaces. These solutions aim to improve process control, reduce fuel consumption, boost productivity, and lower emissions.

10:10 – 10:30 am Room 411

Achieving Sustainable Copper Melting Operations John Hugens, Hugens Metallurgy and Combustion

Copper melting furnaces play a crucial role in wire through their continuous feed of casting lines. Traditionally, these furnaces have relied heavily on fossil fuels as their primary energy source. It is crucial to ensure that the electrical power sources used to operate electric furnaces have less than ten percent participation of fossil fuels in the gross makeup of the supplied power generation if they are expected exceed the carbon performance of current fossil fuel melting.

This paper explores how the continuous improvement initiatives and sustainability goals of Southwire Company, LLC shape the design and development of equipment and systems of SCR Technologies. By integrating the principles of lean manufacturing and sustainable practices, SCR Technologies can not only enhance product performance but also reduce environmental impact and operational costs.

Dr. Emmanuel De Moor named Mordica Memorial Winner Dr. Emmanuel De Moor is the winner of the 2025 WAI Mordica Award, which is given to individuals who have excelled at contributing to technical knowledge in the industry.

A professor at the Colorado De Moor School of Mines, which he joined in 2008, De Moor has long been active at the school’s Advanced Steel Processing and Product Center (ASPPRC), an industry-university cooperative center renowned for its metals research related to steel production and usage. His focus there has included high-carbon wire rod, and he has worked with well-known companies such as Bekaert and Gerdau.

De Moor’s primary focus has been on physical metallurgy and the study of the effect of heat treating on microstructural development and mechanical properties.

One award nominator cited De Moor’s research ability.

“Duplicating the processing of wire rods in a laboratory is a particularly difficult task, and Emmauel led that effort at ASPPRC providing direction and leadership. As a result, many concepts and data were supplied to the industry through numerous publications. He established ASPPRC as the leading academic research facility for ferrous wire in the U.S. ... I highly recommend Emmanuel De Moor for the WAI Mordica Award.”

Another nominator who worked with De Moor said he had worked with him on projects to increase wear and increasing strength, and also seen how he mentors and leads students doing this work. He considers him “a very worthy recipient of this distinguished award.”

De Moor won a Silver Certificate Award from the WAI for a paper he co-authored in 2016, “Microstuctural characterization of a vanadium micro-alloyed high-carbon wire steel.” He holds a PhD in metallurgy from Ghent University. 

DONNELLAN Memorial Award Wednesday, May 14 | Awards Ceremony, 8:30 am, Room 312

Thomas Heberling named Donnellan Memorial Award Thomas Heberling is the 2025 winner of the Donnellan Memorial Award, which is given to an individual who has made significant contribution to the Association.

Heberling, vice president of wire and cable manufacturing, has been a WAI member since 2010. He has been highly engaged in the organization throughout his tenure.

He initially served as the co-chairman of the Member Relations Committee alongside Tim Wampler. This team re-energized the entire WAI membership function, with a hands-on approach that both impressed Association staff and led to impressive results. Their impact spanned into all activities of the organization. As a result, the membership ranks reversed a downward trend. In 2017, he received the WAI’s President’s Award for his efforts on the membership campaign that continues to influence the Association’s management of that process.

In 2017, Heberling joined the WAI Board of Directors and in 2018 joined the Executive Committee. He then progressed through the officer ranks, and in 2021 served

as the WAI president.

It was a challenging period, and staff recalls that he most ably guided the Association through the extended disruption caused by Covid. Not only did he Heberling make a difference through his WAI contributions that were critical to the organization, he did this as he was simultaneously serving Southwire in increasingly important operational roles.

Heberling holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Auburn University, where he was a cooperative education student with Southwire Company for seven quarters while going to school. The Association is extremely grateful that Heberling also found time (often on weekends) to share his dedication with WAI. 

For presenter bios, go to www.interwire25.com. The Wire Association’s most popular training program and refresher course for new hires, sales teams, and operations personnel, it includes general topics in the morning and then breaks into separate sessions for ferrous and nonferrous/electrical tracks in the afternoon, followed by a combined session.

GENERAL TRACK 8:45 – 9:30 am Room 411

Mechanics of Wiredrawing

Matt Reinoehl, SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS This course presents fundamental engineering principles and process calculations that are used to design, analyze, and improve metal rod and wiredrawing operations. Topics include a basic overview of wiredrawing mechanics with respect to material behavior and process parameters. Die angle and reduction will be addressed in light of the parameter and its practical application. Drawing limits, friction and lubrication, work-piece heating, and temperature effects are also discussed.

9:30 – 10:15 am Room 411

Drawing Dies

Tom Maxwell Jr., Die Quip Corp.

This presentation focuses on the die, the most important part of the drawing process. Without it, the best drawing machines, lubricant, and treatment systems cannot reduce the wire diameter. However, with a die, vice pliers and a hammer, wire can be drawn, albeit slowly, as it has been for over 2,000 years. The intention of this course is to provide an understanding of what makes a die work, how it is designed, causes of failure, and problems with drawing larger sizes.

The new four-spindle rewinder type SMB is a further development of the DSA-4 model and designed to respool wire drawn on multiwire or fine wire drawing lines onto braiding bobbins for rotary braiding machines. Four bobbins fed automatically from a magazine can be spooled at the same time enabling an SMB to continuously supply around eight to ten

braiding machines with bobbins.

One of the SMB’s main innovations is that it can work at a speed of up to 800 m/min, 200 m/min more than its predecessor. In addition, the bobbin magazines on the SMB are mounted at man height. Thus, the operator no longer has to bend down to refill empty bobbins or to remove the filled bobbins.

The wires in the wire bundle are largely arranged in parallel and have no differences in length. Thus, the bundles can be processed into high-quality braids at high braiding speeds with a very low wire break frequency.

Niehoff’s SMB model can be seen at the company’s booth at Interwire.

The SMB rewinding machine is designed for round or flat wire made of copper, aluminum, iron, stainless steel and textile materials. Via the new digital service platform myNIEHOFF, machine and process data can be monitored online.

PRODUCT Showcase Clifford Machines: advanced cable tray welding With the growing number of DATA Centers in North America, wire mesh cable trays have become the preferred solution for organizing and installing cables, and Clifford Machines & Technology—represented by AWT Machinery in the U.S.—offers the most advanced wire mesh cable tray welding machinery.

Our welding line can produce cable trays with multiple edge wire forms on a single machine: a lap-welded mesh with flush welded wire on all four edges, welded edge wires to further protect cable installation and T-welded and crimped edge wires to help installation.

The edge wires are fed directly from coils to ensure high-quality, strong

T-welds—even on the corners of cable trays. Off-coil edge wires are essential for producing T-welded and crimped edge wire cable trays. Our welding port tooling enables rapid setup due to its innovative welding system and automatic positioning of tooling. Manufacturers can quickly switch between tray sizes and designs.

The line has an integrated highspeed wire straightening and cutting system for preparing line wires, and a new off-coil crosswires system so there is no need to prepare them offline, store and transport them to the welder. Finally, an automated robot stacker ensures the entire cable tray is transformed from wire coils

Clfford’s QSW16 welder and some samples of products it has made. to a stacked finished cable tray. This reduces material handling, allowing the entire line to be run by a single operator. The line also has modern safety laser scanners, light curtains, and safety fencing. Stop by to learn more about the line and us.

PRODUCT Showcase Sjogren Industries: there is a decided point to this new combination power-manual product At Interwire, Sjogren Industries will introduce the company’s new combination manual and power wire pointer that represents the next evolution in wire preparation.

Attendees who stop by will be able to see live why the new model is a game-changer in wire pointing flexibility and efficiency. Building on the success of Sjogren’s PP Power Pointer, this innovative model that integrates both manual and power pointing capabilities allows for a broader range of wire sizes.

The ability to choose between manual and power options provides greater control for small diameter wire, which can be difficult to

maneuver using power pointers alone.

The manual pointer ensures easier handling for long, thin wires, preventing unwanted bending and enabling smoother feeding into the pointer rolls.

Designed for maximum mobility, this unit comes mounted on a rolling cart, eliminating the need to run between lines and keeping both pointing tools conveniently in one place.

It also offers three standard power options—208V, 480V, and 600V—to seamlessly integrate with your existing setup.

We will also have tensile testing jaws, grooved rolls, wire straighteners, control line straighteners, safety
