M-EXPO Wire Processing Technology Event Postponed Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
May 7, 2020 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The 4th Annual M-EXPO Wire Processing Technology event, produced by WHMA/IPC, has been postponed due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty of the situation in the fall. The October 14-16, 2020 event will take place next fall, 2021 in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, pending improved conditions.
The health and welfare of all M-EXPO participants, as well as local, national and international communities at large, are our highest priority. For the past several weeks, M-EXPO and WHMA/IPC have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and feel it is now clear that postponing the event is the best decision for all of those involved.
“The health, safety, and well-being of the show’s sponsors, attendees, exhibitors, speakers, and staff is the primary concern to M-EXPO,” said David Bergman, WHMA executive director. “Given the public health emergency we are currently facing, we believe the only action at this time is for M-EXPO 2020 to be postponed.”
M-EXPO looks forward to showcasing your latest wire and cable processing equipment, tools, materials and technologies to Mexico next fall, 2021!

EIPC Issues Letter of Urgency
04/29/2024 | Alun Morgan, EIPCAlun Morgan, president of EIPC, issued a letter last week in an effort to raise awareness of the state of PCB manufacturing in Europe. He writes, "The European PCB manufacturing industry and its supply base has been steadily shrinking since the dot com crash at the start of the millennium. European demand for PCBs and assemblies has, however, continued to grow, thus creating an ever-widening gap between European domestic capacity and consumption. The risks posed by this imbalanced supply and demand pattern came into sharp focus during the Covid-19 pandemic which caused chaos in extended supply chains across the world and resulted in widespread shortages."
