The first major gathering designed to boost wire and cable trade and productivity across Africa.

As international interest in African development continues to grow, the inaugural CRU Africa Wire, Cable & Tube Conference is perfectly timed to address the opportunities for companies looking to boost their business with clients and partners in the African wire and cable industries.

The inaugural Africa Wire, Cable & Tube Conference, co-organised and hosted by CRU and The Southern African-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK), will be held on 11 to 13 November 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa. This unique partnership is the basis for creating an event in which the international wire, cable, tube and pipe supply chain can meet and establish new trade partnerships with key African stakeholders.

The conference will offer delegates a broad understanding of the major global trends across the wire and cable and tube and pipe industries, and how these are being evidenced across Africa. CRU’s market experts will provide insights into the economic outlook and risks to industrial growth.

The agenda will also offer a day of technical showcases, with industry experts exploring the latest global technological advances in wire and cable, tube and pipe manufacturing, and how this can be applied to African operations.
