Welcome to the latest Tube Products
INTERNATIONAL, which is a special Tube
Düsseldorf issue of the magazine. I hope that
within its pages you will find all of the information
you need during your stay in Germany.
Inside you will discover a full list of exhibitors and
their stand numbers to help guide you around the
vast exhibition (see page 54). We also have in-
depth information on many of the innovative new
products that are being exhibited in our Düsseldorf
Exhibitor Section, which starts on page 66.
The magazine is a media partner of the show and
is being distributed in several key locations. We
will be in the main entrance hall (EN03) and I
will be based in Hall 4, Stand B27 all week. Do
come and pick up some extra copies or just to
say hello and rest your weary feet for a moment.
The entire team will be there in force so it would
be a pleasure to meet you or to say hello to some
old friends at what will be my third Tube show.
It never fails to impress me with its scale and
oustanding levels of organisation. Nothing else
in the industry offers such a multitude of face-to-
face international networking opportunites.
With well in excess of 1,000 exhibiting
companies from dozens of countries, Tube
once again broke its exhibitor record in 2014
(and has grown eight-fold since the first show in
1988). Last time several thousand extra visitors
attended, so hopefully 2016 should be equally
spectacular. The organisers tell me that interest
in exhibiting has been as strong as ever, so it
looks very promising. See you
there.
Enjoy the magazine and have
a fantastic stay in Germany.
