Exciting new features

website that I announced last issue.

13-15 September

Firstly, we have significantly expanded our regular feature on fittings and this now includes all the latest information on valves too. We of course also have our usual selection of features on Tube Russia, civil engineering and stainless steel tubes as well as all the latest product and development and business and market news. Another couple of new sections I hope readers will particularly enjoy are the company focus on page 58, which offers a company in the tube industry a chance to really let us know about what they do in detail – it should be great exposure. Everything from its history, information about who founded the company to its latest endeavours or the biggest projects it has been involved in in the past are what we are interested in. If you would like to be featured please get in touch with your usual marketing and sales contact at our offices or drop me a line and I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. The other new addition is a Q&A with individuals who make this industry what it is. This issue it kicks off with a fascinating chat with Frans Martens from Shell Global Solutions BV. It was great to hear his perspective on the industry and his company as well as get an insight into some more personal aspects of his life, so again please do get in touch if you would like to be featured. I think it is great to get an insight in to the personality of people who work in the industry. Next issuewe have features on corrosion resistant tube and pipe, a show feature on Tube South East Asia and we are particularly interested in hearing about your valves, accessories and fittings.
