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!
