TPi May 2014

6 / 68

Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products
International magazine. Inside you will find
features on the important areas of oil and gas,
water drainage and civils, and an interview with
the talented team at STAROFIT. We also have
an in-depth feature on powered pipe-threading
tips written by Teodora Takacs of the Ridgid/
Ridge Tool Company from Belgium.
This May issue of the magazine is being
distributed at several important trade shows
including the well-established Lamiera 2014
in the beautiful city of Bologna and at Tube
Russia, which is now one of the leading tube
shows in the world. A new show for us this
year is IFAT in Munich, so we are very excited
to be linking up with them for the first time.
Although Tube Düsseldorf is now over for two
years it is great to know that there are so many
other fantastic tube shows on the horizon.
Many of you will just have returned from the
Tube Düsseldorf show and I hope it was a great
success for your company and that everyone
had a safe journey back home. Our entire team
flew out to Germany so after a long build up it
is exciting to finally get to the show and see
this important industry of ours in all of its glory.
The next issue will be distributed at Tube
China and will have features on GRP and fibre
glass pipes, pipe inspection and corrosion
protection, and handling and logistics. Contact
me at if you have any stories
for the magazine.
