The trademagazine for tube and pipe products

The July issue

2017

Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL magazine. In this issue we have a feature on material handling and logistics as well as two in-depth articles on protecting pipe bores from corrosion, by Arc Energy Resources, and condition monitoring for competitive advantage from Parker Kittiwake. We also have comprehensive coverage of all the latest news from the global industry such as exciting news from Marcegaglia about its innovative new factory on page 8. We take a look at two major international tube shows – Tube Southeast Asia in Bangkok, Thailand, and Tubotech in São Paulo, Brazil. The team will be at both events so we hope to see you there. Next issue we have features on copper pipes and inspection technology, and the issue will be distributed at the fantastic FABTECH 2017 in Chicago. FABTECH is always an excellent show and well worth attending for those in the tube industry, but it is generally more focused on machinery and the wider world of fabricating than tube products specifically. However, this year Messe Düsseldorf has teamed up with the show’s organisers and sponsors to offer a brand new pavilion for tube producers and suppliers, which is a fantastic idea and a great boost for the industry in the US. I have often felt there was a lack of strong trade shows for the tube producing industry in the US, so this is an exciting development and I hope it is a big success.
