Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products International. This month we have an extended feature on materials handling and logistics, and take a look at the Tube Southeast Asia show in Bangkok, Thailand, which is taking place in September. We also have an extended article on optical strain measurement and the future for subsea pipeline testing by Ed Fowkes, technical production manager at Exova, UK. I will be attending Tube Southeast Asia for the first time this year so I hope to see you there. I am looking forward to returning to Asia to meet our readers there as my last trip (to Shanghai) was a few years ago. Thailand’s economy has not been helped by the recent slowdown in growth in China but it is still predicted to see a healthy growth in GDP this year, which is encouraging to hear. Bangkok is a major centre for business, finance and tourism in the heart of Asia so it should be an excellent environment for a trade show to take place and a fun destination for eating the incredible local food and enjoying the vibrant street life. Next issue we have features on oil & gas, renewable energy tubes, and alloy steels & materials. The issue will be distributed at FABTECH 2015 in Chicago, USA, and Tubotech in São Paulo, Brazil.
