Celebrating 40 Years of wire: IWMA Networking Event in Düsseldorf

We are excited to share that ACOTEQ GmbH had the pleasure of attending The Great Connection, the exclusive IWMA networking event held on 14th April 2026 at the CCD Congress Centre Düsseldorf, alongside the world-renowned wire Düsseldorf trade fair. Bringing together members, colleagues and industry friends from across the global Wire and Cable community, the evening delivered exactly what its name promises: meaningful connections in a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.

The event offered a perfect contrast to the energy of the exhibition halls, providing a more relaxed and informal setting for professionals to meet, reconnect and engage. With welcome drinks, canapés, an antipasti station, live entertainment and a DJ set, the evening reflected the dynamic spirit that makes wire Düsseldorf such a landmark occasion for our sector. Guests also had the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor terrace, making the most of a spring evening in Düsseldorf.

This edition of The Great Connection carried special significance, as the evening also marked 40 years of wire Düsseldorf, a milestone that speaks to the enduring strength, energy, and global reach of the wire and cable community. Being part of this celebration reinforced our appreciation for the industry networks and long-standing partnerships that continue to drive innovation and commercial excellence across international markets.

At ACOTEQ GmbH, we firmly believe that the most valuable conversations often happen beyond the show floor — over a drink, in good company, and in the spirit of genuine collaboration. Events like The Great Connection are a testament to the importance of face-to-face engagement in building the relationships that shape the future of our industry. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our ties with partners and peers from across the global Wire and Cable sector at every opportunity ahead.
