Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL, which is a special Tube Düsseldorf issue of the magazine. I hope that within its pages you will find all of the information you need during your stay in Germany. Inside you will discover a full list of exhibitors and their stand numbers to help guide you around the vast exhibition (see page 54). We also have in- depth information on many of the innovative new products that are being exhibited in our Düsseldorf Exhibitor Section, which starts on page 66. The magazine is a media partner of the show and is being distributed in several key locations. We will be in the main entrance hall (EN03) and I will be based in Hall 4, Stand B27 all week. Do come and pick up some extra copies or just to say hello and rest your weary feet for a moment. The entire 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 third Tube show. It never fails to impress me with its scale and oustanding levels of organisation. Nothing else in the industry offers such a multitude of face-to- face international networking opportunites. With well in excess of 1,000 exhibiting companies from dozens of countries, Tube once again broke its exhibitor record in 2014 (and has grown eight-fold since the first show in 1988). Last time several thousand extra visitors attended, so hopefully 2016 should be equally spectacular. The organisers tell me that interest in exhibiting has been as strong as ever, so it looks very promising. See you there.
