In terms of countries outside of Europe most exhibitors arrive from the traditional tube machinery producing and buying powerhouses of the US, India, South Korea, Taiwan and China. The Tube trade fair will occupy the spectacular new Hall 1 for the first time as well as the adjacent Halls 3 and 4. Following on from these halls will be bending and forming in Halls 5 and 6 and pipe and tube processing in Halls 6 and 7a. Hall 7a will also be occupied by big plant and machinery. In addition, on the wire side, there are more than 1,000 companies from 47 countries registered for 2022. They will occupy an incredible 53,210m 2 of net exhibition space.

Whether you need equipment for extrusion, pointing, drawing, straightening, cutting and chamfering, finishing, stacking and bundling or material handling – engineers for special purpose machinery and plant equipment will question, scrutinise, investigate, research, develop and design for as long it takes to ensure the smallest detail fits and the best solutions have been found for the customer. A new system should not just provide customers with a flexible, faster and more economical production solution. It should also bring with it specific competitive advantages. Our customers know that this is not just a promise, but actual corporate policy. The organisation and structure of ASMAG is customer oriented and adapted to customer needs. A project manager will assist each customer and is responsible for all processes from the beginning of a project to start-up at the customer's site. A qualified engineering team and an experienced production team assure that exactly the equipment desired is delivered to the customer. It is the goal of ASMAG to achieve that. 20-24 June Düsseldorf
