2016

Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products INTERNATIONAL. We have features on steel tubes & pipes and pipe rehabilitation & repair as well as a fascinating insight into the future of the world’s nuclear power industry from Charles Ferreira and Kris Narasimhan from Fine Tubes and Superior Tube. I recently returned from an impressive Stainless Steel World show in Maastricht. Many of the people that I met at the show said it was a tough time for the oil & gas industry at the moment as well as, of course, the steel industry. However, I was heartened by the optimism and innovation that I saw there and the general message was that these times had been seen before and that things would become stable again soon. It sounds simple but it’s true that – even if there is a slowdown – the world always needs tubes and pipes to move resources around the globe. Next issue we are excited to present our Tube Düsseldorf show special. I was speaking to the organisers from Messe Düsseldorf recently and they said the demand, particularly on the tube side, had been massive, so once again it promises to be a spectacular event and that alone is reason for a lot of optimism. TPI will be a big part of the event as always so make sure you promote your company and stand within the pages of our magazine. As well as an extensive look at the tube exhibition, the show issue will have features on copper tubes and fittings, small diameter, high precision tubes, and tube handling and logistics. The editorial deadline is 8 January and advertising deadline
