TPi January 2016

6 / 64

Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products
INTERNATIONAL. We have features on steel
tubes & pipes and pipe rehabilitation & repair
as well as a fascinating insight into the future of
the world’s nuclear power industry from Charles
Ferreira and Kris Narasimhan from Fine Tubes
and Superior Tube.
I recently returned from an impressive Stainless
Steel World show in Maastricht. Many of the
people that I met at the show said it was a tough
time for the oil & gas industry at the moment as
well as, of course, the steel industry. However, I
was heartened by the optimism and innovation
that I saw there and the general message was
that these times had been seen before and
that things would become stable again soon. It
sounds simple but it’s true that – even if there is
a slowdown – the world always needs tubes and
pipes to move resources around the globe.
Next issue we are excited to present our Tube
Düsseldorf show special. I was speaking to
the organisers from Messe Düsseldorf recently
and they said the demand, particularly on the
tube side, had been massive, so once again it
promises to be a spectacular event and that
alone is reason for a lot of optimism. TPI will be
a big part of the event as always so make sure
you promote your company and stand within the
pages of our magazine.
As well as an extensive look at the tube exhibition,
the show issue will have features on copper tubes
and fittings, small diameter, high precision tubes,
and tube handling and logistics. The editorial
deadline is 8 January and advertising deadline
is 11 January. Submit press
releases to
I hope you enjoy the magazine.
