Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL magazine. This issue we have a feature on fittings, valves, flanges & connectors (see page 48). The technical article (page 56) discusses the selection of optimal material for hydraulic and instrumentation systems in marine environments and is written by Jonas Höwing from Sandvik Materials Technology. This is also a busy show issue and is being distributed at both Made in Steel and Lamiera in Italy, which are being held later in the month in Milan. The magazine will also be distributed at the Guangzhou International Metallurgy Exhibition in China in June. I will be attending both Made in Steel and Lamiera once again this year and they are both important global events in a very cosmopolitan city. Italy is one of the largest steel exporting companies internationally, exporting to more than 160 countries and territories. Exports have actually grown by more than 60 per cent since 2009 and again increased in 2018 compared to the previous year. So steel exports are a major part of the Italian economy and increasingly so. Marcegaglia – one of the biggest steel tube companies in the world and featured on our May issue cover – runs the world’s largest stainless steel tube manufacturing unit in Northern Italy, which hosts 33 tube mills, mainly used in the automotive sector, but also for water and gas pipes and pressure equipment. The company also has additional steel tube plants near Parma in Italy as well as in Brazil and more recently in China. Next up we have the July issue. It will have features on copper & aluminium tubes, corrosion repair & replacement, tube handling & logistics, and drilling, piercing & punching. If you would like to submit editorial for the July issue the deadline is 6 May. You can contact me at: rory@intras.co.uk for further information. I would also like to offer a warm welcome to our new sales manager, Steven Martin. If you would like
