The European umbrella organisations as well as major companies of the leading international trade fairs wire and Tube clearly speak out in favour of the trade fair dates from 7 to 11 December 2020 at Düsseldorf Fairgrounds. In ameeting of the European associations acting as conceptual sponsors of the events in Düsseldorf the decision has now been taken that a commitment to the leading trade fairs from their respective sectors of industry is indispensable despite these challenging times. Personal encounters, one-on-one conversations and the expert exchange at the trade fair stand have never been more important than in the current situation. “All parties are making an effort to return to a normal course of affairs in spite of the existing COVID-19 measures and risks,” says Dr. Uwe-Peter Weigmann, CEO of WAFIOS AG and President of VDKM. Weigmann adds: “We are confident that per- sonal conversations and live demonstrations of machinery offered by a trade fair cannot be replaced by video conferences. This is why WAFIOS will exhibit its latest innovations at the trade fair – albeit on a smaller scale than usual. We are aware that the trade fairs in December will not be comparable to a “normal” wire & Tube. But we expect customers to come and want to be at their service. Since Messe Düsseldorf has shown at the CARAVAN SALON that it can and does implement the necessary hy- giene measures to keep risks to a minimum for both exhibitors and visitors, WAFIOS also wants to send a signal with its participation: business must carry on and even in COVID-19 times personal conversations can be had to a limited extent and in a pro- tected setting complying with hygiene rules.” Nevertheless, the international situation has to be re-assessed anew every day. “We are aware that in the current situation most visitors will come from Europe to see us and wire and Tube will have a primarily European character in 2020,” says Daniel Ryfisch, Project Director wire, Tube & Flow Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf. “We are all the more delighted to send a positive signal to the industries by holding the two events,” adds Friedrich-Georg Kehrer, Global Portfolio Director wire, Tube & Flow Technologies.
