Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products International. In this month’s issue we have features on fittings, valves, flanges and connectors (page 56) and plastic pipes, which starts on page 50. We also take a look at the Made in Steel show in Milan, Italy which runs from 20 to 22 May and Tube Russia in Moscow taking place from 8 to 11 June. Last but not least we have an excellent article from Cortez Subsea on new technology being used to lay flowlines on the seabed without causing undue disruption to the environment. The falling price of oil has meant a tough year in several parts of the world not least the UK, with 2014 proving to be a difficult year due to rising costs and falling oil prices, although oil production actually rose by 1 per cent and billions of pounds were invested, which should hopefully stand the industry in good stead in the coming years. It is easy to forget that slumps have happened before and I am confident that profits will again start to rise but the industry will need a little help from the UK government in terms of the high levels of regulation and taxation it currently endures. In the forthcoming May issue we have features on stainless steel tubes, construction, building and structural tubes, OCTG and pipeline prod- ucts, a focus on tube and pipe production in the USA and a look at Valve World Americas 2015.
