The October issue

events calendar

Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products International. This issue we have a number of features looking at areas of the industry that should be of a great deal of interest to readers – these focus on water and drainage pipes, valves and fittings and plastic pipes. We also have our usual extensive business and market news sections and a comprehensive round-up of all the latest products and development news. It is an exciting and busy time for the magazine as from the next issue (January) we will be producing six issues a year rather than the current four as we continue to expand the size and scope of the magazine. We are aiming to make Tube Products International THE essential publication for anyone interested in high quality tube and pipe products and by increasing the frequency of the magazine we can get the most relevant news and products to you sooner and publish even more up-to-date news and in-depth features each year as well as cover more shows. This will hopefully make it an even more essential read so please do get in touch if you have anything you would like shared with our large readership both in print and online or if you have any suggestions for future areas we can cover. This current issue will be distributed at even more shows than usual. The magazine and its team will be out in force at EuroBLECH, which is fast becoming one of the most essential shows in Europe. I will be travelling to Tube India for the first time and it will be great to see how this up-and- coming super power in the world of steel and all things tube and pipes is developing first hand. I expect we will receive a very warm welcome at what is another rapidly growing show in one of the world’s busiest and most vibrant business cities. In addition, the magazine will again be distributed at FABTECH in Las Vegas and at Valve World in Germany. That is pretty much every corner of the globe covered!
