EDITORIAL INDEX

This month we also take a look at FABTECH 2016 and Tube India 2016, both shows that this issue will be distributed at along with EuroBLECH in Germany. I am returning to Tube India again in October after last visiting in 2012. It will be interesting to see how the tube machinery industry has developed over the past four years as the country has been on the cusp of becoming one of the world’s strongest economies for a while now. More than 400 exhibitors from around 25 countries are expected to attend the event so it is very much an international occasion. Next up we have the November issue, which will have features on cutting, sawing and profiling technology; tube extrusion, drawing and end forming; and drilling, piercing and punching technology. The advertising deadline for next issue is 12 September. You can contact me at: rory@intras.co.uk if you would like to submit editorial or if you would like any information about submitting technical articles.
