Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products International.
This issue we have a number of features looking at areas of the
industry that should be of a great deal of interest to readers –
these focus on water and drainage pipes, valves and fittings
and plastic pipes. We also have our usual extensive business
and market news sections and a comprehensive round-up of
all the latest products and development news.
It is an exciting and busy time for the magazine as from the
next issue (January) we will be producing six issues a year
rather than the current four as we continue to expand the
size and scope of the magazine.
We are aiming to make Tube Products International THE
essential publication for anyone interested in high quality
tube and pipe products and by increasing the frequency
of the magazine we can get the most relevant news and
products to you sooner and publish even more up-to-date
news and in-depth features each year as well as cover more
shows. This will hopefully make it an even more essential
read so please do get in touch if you have anything you
would like shared with our large readership both in print
and online or if you have any suggestions for future areas
we can cover.
This current issue will be distributed at even more shows
than usual. The magazine and its team will be out in force
at EuroBLECH, which is fast becoming one of the most
essential shows in Europe. I will be travelling to Tube India
for the first time and it will be great to see how this up-and-
coming super power in the world of steel and all things tube
and pipes is developing first hand. I expect we will receive a
very warm welcome at what is another rapidly growing show
in one of the world’s busiest and most vibrant business cities.
In addition, the magazine will again be distributed at
FABTECH in Las Vegas and at Valve World in Germany.
That is pretty much every corner of the globe covered!
Next issue we have features on the use of
tubes in renewable energy, titanium tubes,
copper tubes (HVAC) and a show feature
on Indometal 2013. We are media partners
at this event and I have been speaking to
the organisers extensively over the past few
months – it will be a really exciting event
that is well worth a visit.
