A warm welcome to the September issue of Tube Products International. We have an interesting feature on the latest developments in plastic tubes and pipes and also take a look at the ‘K’ Plastic 2013 show in Germany and Tube South-East Asia in Thailand. The team will be at all the big shows coming up so if you are at Tube South-East Asia in sunny Bangkok please do come and say hello. I am particularly pleased this issue to able to feature an in-depth article on valve function from Swagelok and an interview with Andy Taylor, CEO of Radius Systems, as well as all the latest company and product news from around the international tube industry. There has certainly been plenty happening so it’s a bumper action packed issue. I will soon be heading to TuboTech in São Paulo, Brazil, for the second time and it will be very interesting to see how the country has evolved in the past two years as Brazil’s growth as a major international power continues. Some of the excitement surrounding next year’s FIFA World Cup and the Olympics in Rio in a couple of years has been dampened by the recent riots but this is still a very exciting time for the country and hopefully the people of the country will come to an amicable agreement with their leaders. I found it a charming country that I look forward to visiting once again.
