In October 2010 Allens Meshco launched its new web site aimed at making its product range more transparent and accessible. Taking the information from our printed catalogue and transferring it to the net, anyone is now able to access the information anywhere in the world at a click of the button. Divided into the 5 sectors that Allens Meshco supplies to, now finding the product your looking for, with specification and list price attached, is that much easier.

Last year’s economic trough has definitely been left behind and business is picking up again! This is reflected by the euphoria prevailing among the just over 1,200 exhibitors in the halls of the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre after just five days of trade fair business. Almost 69,200 trade visitors from over 52 countries attended the International Wire and Cable Trade Fair held from 12 to 16 April 2010, to gather information on the latest machinery, equipment and products from the wire and cable processing industries; and all the exhibitors polled in the exhibition halls agreed that the professionalism of the visitors registered at the stands had been again higher than before. Constructive talks, avid interest in purchasing and actual deals as well as expectations regarding interesting follow-up business all characterised the atmosphere at wire 2010.

NAMPO 2010 is done and dusted, and what a success it was! According to the NAMPO statistics, there were 650 exhibitors and just over 68,900 visitors at the 2010 exhibition (an all-time record). It was not just a success for the NAMPO organizers, but for the Allens Meshco Group as well. We joined forces in the so-called iwire alleyi on the Harrop-Allin stand again, as well as in the Caltex Hall with Gallagher SA. Agriwire Cape Town delegated two of their staff members, and Agriwire Kimberley one, to assist during the very busy four days of NAMPO.
