It is not long now until Tube Düsseldorf 2018 and we will are starting to plan this major issue of the magazine already, so please do start thinking about your editorial submissions. I would also advise anyone interested in supporting their editorial with an advertisement to confirm their position in the magazine as soon as possible – the best positions in the magazine will soon be filling up. In the forthcoming January issue we have features on bending, end forming & swaging, tube mills & rollforming lines and drilling, piercing & punching. The January issue will also have a Tube Düsseldorf preview so if you would like to give readers – and those attending Tube Düsseldorf 2018 – an advance look at what you will be exhibiting at the show and the location of your stand, then please submit your editorial as soon as possible. The January issue will be distributed at the event along with the March issue. The deadline for editorial for the January 2018 issue is 3 November. If you would like to book an advert then the deadline is 20 November.
