Niehoff in Russia Niehoff’s experience in the Russian market started more than 30 years ago when Niehoff began to develop first connections with Russian cable manufacturers. Niehoff of Russia (NoR), Niehoff’s marketing and service branch based in Moscow, was set up in 2005 and is responsible for Niehoff activities in the Russian Federation and neighbour countries. NoR’s fourservice engineers, all Russian native speakers, install Niehoff machines at customer sites, put the machinery into operation and provide after sales service. Since 2008, Niehoff and NoR have been working closely together with the All-Russian Scientific Research and Development Cable Institute VNIIKP. . www.niehoff.de PWM’s Strip Welder Well Received at Interwire 2019 Interwire 2019 provided good opportunities for British company PWM to showcase its high-performance cold pressure welding machines, according to managing director Steve Mepsted. “Our innovative ST40 machine, designed specifically for welding nonferrous strip, was on show for the first time at a US exhibition and generated a lot of interest. PWM’s products were presented by Joe Snee Associates Inc., PWM’s exclusive distributor of equipment, spares and dies in the US and Canada. . www.pwmltd.co.uk We also exhibited the EP500 cold welder, which provides a cost- effective way to weld rod up to 15mm diameter, and sold the machine during the show. The booth was busy, we were able to meet customers and prospects and discuss their projects and came away with a number of promising sales leads.” WIRE NEWS EVENTS June 2019 17
