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.
If you would like to submit editorial for our September
issue then please get it to me by
3 July. If you would like to advertise
the deadline is 10 July.
Enjoy the magazine.
