Report: WCISA @ wire 2026 in Düsseldorf

The Wire and Cable Industry Suppliers Association® (WCISA®) and many of its member companies exhibited at wire 2026, in Düsseldorf, Germany, April 13-17, 2026. Some exhibited in the North American Pavilion, and others exhibited on their own in one of the nine exhibition halls. The show’s final press release stated that despite massive geopolitical challenges, disrupted supply chains, high tariffs, and scarce raw materials, the Düsseldorf Fairgrounds were buzzing with activity. People were discussing, developing, and rethinking. The North American Pavilion was cosponsored by Messe Düsseldorf North America and WCISA. See images from the Pavilion below.

On Sunday, April 12, 2026, WCISA hosted “WCISA’s Night Out In Germany” on the eve of the opening of the wire 2026 exhibition. The biannual event was staged at Brauhaus Joh.
