Busy busy!

What an eventful year 2008 is turning out to be! No sooner have we returned from the recent and successful Tube Russia and Tubes & Fittings Ukraine exhibitions, than we are now preparing for the upcoming Tube China, EuroBLECH and Fabtech exhibitions that are rounding off this very busy year of industry events. In this issue we will be focusing on the Tube China and EuroBLECH shows which continue to improve year on year in terms of exhibit space sold and visitor attendance. Tube China 2008 completely sold out of exhibition space earlier this year, and it is only its third staging since humble beginnings in 2004. Tube Products INTERNATIONAL magazine will be exhibiting at both these events as well as Fabtech later in the year – which we will be reporting on in our October edition. As a further bonus, you will also find a special feature in this issue relating to the variety of metal, plastic & composite raw materials that are used in the manufacture of tube and pipe products. We hope you all enjoy your summer vacations and manage to restore your energy levels for what is sure to be a busy and successful last quarter of 2008!
