Combined expertise around steel
tube production
FROM rollforming to testing and
sawing to a smooth transport system
and everything from one source. That
was the aim for companies Dreistern,
Trumpf, Sema Systemtechnik, Foerster,
RSA, Wafios, Fehr, Scheffer and Kluthe
at the Tube Innovation Days. Taking
place at the RSA showroom in Kunshan,
near Shanghai, China, customers and
interested parties were able to ask for
comprehensive advice on the whole
process chain of the manufacture and
processing of tubes.
The steel tube industry is growing
worldwide at a rapid rate and China, the
world’s largest steel tube producer, has
a market share of more than 50 per cent
with a high export share. In particular,
the export to Western countries with the
related standards calls for a high quality
of tubes. To meet these demands,
efficient and competent partners are
needed. Therefore, it was logical for
all parties involved that the first Tube
Innovation Days took place in China.
Nine high-tech German companies
combined their expertise at the event
and this specialist network guarantees
the customer an optimum design of its
production and processing processes.
From the first to the last stage the
customer benefits not only from the core
competence of the individual companies
but also from their close collaboration:
individual processes and interfaces are
coordinated for the entire production
chain. This means that the customer
gets a solution that is optimally tailored
to its requirements throughout the entire
process and as a result receives an
increase in product quality.
