16 Companies from Denizli at Wire & Tube 2026 Fair

Denizli Cable Industry Once Again on the World Stage

A total of 16 companies from Denizli are participating in the Wire & Tube 2026 Fair, held in Düsseldorf, Germany, and regarded as one of the world's leading fairs for copper wire and cable. Ranked second in Türkiye's cable exports, Denizli is once again being strongly represented at the fair.

Visiting the Denizli companies participating in the fair, Denizli Exporters Association (DENİB) President Osman Uğurlu made the following remarks regarding the Wire & Tube Fair, one of the most important global gatherings of the sector:

“I consider fairs not only as promotion platforms, but also as strategic venues where the pulse of global competition is measured. Among the organizations held for copper wire and cable groups, the Wire & Tube Fair stands at the forefront. This year, a total of 2,651 companies from 63 countries are participating in the fair, and 120 thousand visitors are expected.

Our country is demonstrating a significant representation power at the fair with 193 companies. Within this strong presence, which constitutes 7 percent of Türkiye's total participation, Denizli stands out especially in the 'Wire' section with its 16 companies and once again demonstrates that it is one of the locomotive cities of the sector.

First of all, I extend my wishes to all our members representing Denizli, a productive fair. At the fair, we have 10 cable machinery companies, 5 cable companies, and 1 iron/steel company. With its sectoral diversity, Denizli ranks among the leading cities in our country's exports. However, one of the points I would particularly like to emphasize is that Denizli also has a high degree of diversity and differentiation in its sub-sectors. This situation is not only reflected in our exports, but also lays the groundwork for our sectors to gain momentum.

As Denizli, we see our high value-added production and export approach very clearly in the cable sector. The strong representation demonstrated by our companies at international fairs enhances the brand value of both our sector and our city.”

We rank second nationwide in cable exports

Stating that, as of the end of 2025, Türkiye's cable exports reached USD 4.1 billion with a 15.6 percent increase compared to the previous year, President Uğurlu said, “With an export volume of USD 1 billion, Denizli ranks second in cable exports across Türkiye. I can comfortably state that Denizli, which alone accounts for 24 percent of Türkiye's cable exports, is a strategic center in this field. While the upward trend continued in the first months of 2026, cable exports across Türkiye reached USD 1.3 billion with a 15 percent increase, while Denizli's exports rose by 8 percent to the level of USD 300 million.”

There is a strong production infrastructure behind this success

Emphasizing that there is a strong production infrastructure behind Denizli's success in cable exports, President Uğurlu said, “In our city, electrical-electronics ranks among our leading sectors and is within the top five. In particular, cable exports constitute the great majority of the sector. The ability to adapt to foreign markets is also one of the most important factors behind this success.

The fact that our annual cable exports have exceeded the threshold of USD 1 billion clearly shows that this sector is no longer a niche field for Denizli, but a strategic one. This success clearly demonstrates that our industry is turning toward technology-intensive production and has become more resilient in global markets.”

The increase in copper prices per ton continues

Pointing out that the price of copper per ton was at the level of USD 9,377 in the period of 1 January–12 April 2025, while it rose to USD 12,860 in the same period of 2026, DENİB President Osman Uğurlu stated, “The upward trend that began last year and continued in an upward direction has also continued strongly during the remaining period of this year. In the first 100 days of the year, copper prices recorded a remarkable increase of approximately 37 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

Since copper is the main raw material of the cable sector, we see that this increase is directly reflected in sector data. In particular, the fact that the increase in value terms is higher than the increase in quantity terms clearly reveals that the rise in exports is not only volume-driven, but is also supported to a significant extent by the price effect.”
