Tube Southeast Direct to the region’s

W hen Tube Singapore came to an end in 2005, it was only with a view to creating an even better show that would more comprehensively serve the entire working region of southeast Asia rather than just an exclusive centre of business. The whole region is currently glowing with industrial activity, international trade and investment, and more efficient free trade agreements (FTAs), with the tube industry at the heart of infrastructural regeneration and manufacturing. Bangkok in Thailand was chosen as the new home for Tube Southeast Asia due to its secure and central location. A long time in conception and preparation, the show will finally open its doors at BITEC from 16-18 October 2007, with a warm welcome to over 120 tube exhibitors and more than 220 exhibitors at sister show, wire Southeast Asia. With a window onto this successful show, over the coming pages Tube & Pipe Technology will present a selection of exhibitor profiles and other essential information.
