CWIEME Events (Coil Winding, Insulation, & Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition)

What CWIEME Events (Coil Winding, Insulation, & Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition) does

CWIEME Events is the operating brand for the Coil Winding, Insulation, and Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition, a B2B trade show platform founded in 1972 (originally as the Coil Winding Show in London) and reorganized under the CWIEME Berlin brand in 1996. The company is wholly owned by Hyve Group, a UK-based international events organizer that acquired CWIEME in 2018. CWIEME operates two flagship annual exhibitions — CWIEME Berlin (celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, held at Messe Berlin) and CWIEME Shanghai (10-year milestone in 2025) — which together serve the global electrical manufacturing supply chain, including transformer manufacturers, electric motor producers, coil winding and insulation specialists, and e-mobility and automotive buyers.

The core product is a physical exhibition platform composed of exhibition halls, specialized content hubs (Electric Motor Forum, Innovation Zone, Power Hub, Transformer Hub, Academic Excellence Hub), and country pavilions, supplemented by executive forums (C-Suite Club, T&D Club), industry programmes (Future Engineers, Women in Engineering), the CWIEME Digest newsletter (11,000+ subscribers), whitepapers, and CWIEME Talks content. Co-located conference partnerships such as EEMODS 2026, Grid Delivery Summit (launching 2027), and the CWIEME Awards round out the content surface. Berlin 2025 attracted 12,500+ visitors and ~500 exhibitors from 87 countries; Shanghai 2025 drew 35,000+ visits and 302 international exhibitors.

CWIEME operates a two-sided, event-driven GTM. Visitor attendance is free for qualified professionals (engineers, procurement, R&D leaders), generating lead volume for exhibitors. Revenue is generated primarily through paid exhibition stand packages, multi-tier sponsorships, and co-located conference/content partnerships, with pricing quote-based and conducted via direct enterprise sales. The organization runs on a lean core team of 8 employees under Hyve Group, with the Portfolio Director role currently held by Melissa Magestro.
