TPT March 2018

The March Issue Welcome to the latest issue of Tube & Pipe Technology magazine, which is a special Tube Düsseldorf issue. If you are attending the event then I hope that within these 200 or so pages you will find all of the information you require during your stay in Germany.

March/April 2018 Vol 31 No 2

Rory McBride – Editor

Inside you will discover a full list of exhibitors and their stand numbers to guide you around the vast exhibition (see page 124) and help you plan who you wish to visit over the five days of the show. We also have in-depth information on many of the innovative new products that are being exhibited, in our Düsseldorf Exhibitors section, which starts on page 140, as well as all of the usual tube industry and technology news from around the globe. The magazine is being distributed in several key locations at the event in Germany. We will be in the main entrance hall (EN03) and I will be based in Hall 4, Stand B23 all week. Do come and pick up some extra copies or just say hello. The entire INTRAS team will be there in force so it would be a pleasure to meet you or to say hello to some old friends at what will be my fourth Tube show in Germany and hopefully the best yet. Enjoy the magazine and have a fantastic stay in Düsseldorf in what will hopefully prove to be a successful 2018 for the industry.

sold in order to guarantee customers a complete and reliable experience. The implementation of a full technical department followed this, which was allowed to develop new machinery and to adapt and improve second-hand lines in order to offer a higher quality product at a competitive price. The results achieved by the company during recent years confirm that the choice, made just a few years ago, to focus its activity on engineering and manufacturing of brand-new equipment, instead of overhauling and servicing second-hand lines, was a successful and important step. With expert know-how and a clear orientation towards the international market, Adda Fer Meccanica has supplied several production plants around the world, increasing the popularity of the brand, which is now synonymous with quality and reliability.
