TPT January 2014

2013

To thousands of producers, designers, engineers, suppliers and customers in dozens of countries Düsseldorf means one thing: the biennial International Tube and Pipe Trade Fair, the world’s biggest and best showcase for the tube and pipe industry and those serving it. Düsseldorf is an appropriate choice for Tube 2014. In its development and maturation since 1988, Tube mirrors its host city on the Rhine, whose singular blend of ancient and modern reflects a will to preserve the best of the old while embracing the promise of the new. Tube and pipe manufacturers, committed to realising maximum productivity from existing

equipment while actively weighing the benefits of upgrading, are well acquainted with this double perspective. The most renowned names in the industry worldwide are there in force. But some names will be encountered for the first time both here on the page and later in the exhibition hall. The organiser’s experience suggests that by the time the next edition of Tube is in preparation many of these companies will have joined the A-list. Those heading for Düsseldorf for Tube 2014 will meet new and old friends as well as strengthen their command of current industry practice and explore tomorrow’s methods today.
