Oct 24, 2019 The third annual M-EXPO Wire Processing Technology event held in Ciudad Juárez, México at the Cuatro Siglos Convention Center on October 9-11, 2019, exceeded expectations. This event was co-located with the ninth annual EXPO-MRO. These two events hosted more than 6,500 attendees.
M-EXPO 2019 sold out of event space a month before the event with more than 45 exhibitors which doubled its event space from 2018. This event showcases the latest equipment, tools, materials and technologies within the wire and cable industry from leading industry suppliers such as Komax, Schleuniger, Cirris, HellermannTyton, HST, Identco, Immsa, Lakes Precision, Lone Star, Schaefer Megomat, IPC/WHMA, Wiring Harness News, BiTech, Cami, Curti, ETCO, Schunk, Ricardo & Barbosa, and many more.
“This show is fantastic, haven’t seen anything like this in over a decade – you can smell business here!” said Edgar Bonilla, key account manager at Henkel Corporation/Adhesives Technologies.
In addition to the sold-out exhibit floor, the show sponsored by IPC/WHMA, included an exciting lineup of conferences and training sessions. These free sessions held throughout the three-day event covered many relevant industry topics and generated numerous insights into the wire and cable industry. M-EXPO held a hands-on workshop, “IPC/WHMA-A-620 Emerging Needs for Criteria – Repair/Rework, Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Issues, High Voltage Electric Mobility,” presented by IPC/WHMA. In this workshop, the attendees actively participated and interacted with industry expert, Constantino Gonzalez, on real-life repair/rework examples and discussed procedures involving discrepancies in different areas such as labeling, crimping and moisture and corrosion.
