Major cablemakers and industry stakeholders to meet face-to-face in London

Supply issues related to the pandemic and geopolitical situations hold sway in the wire and cable industry.

The war in Ukraine, the sanctions on Russia, and all related inflationary pressures on energy and raw materials prices are affecting market dynamics. At the same time, the demand for wire and cable products remains at high levels due to their importance in the energy transition and in creating increasingly complex communications networks.

All these issues and more will be discussed in London from July 25 to 27 during the CRU Wire & Cable Conference.
CRU's flagship event will be held at the Sofitel London St. James Hotel, close to the CRU headquarters.
