All eyes to Bangkok
Tube Southeast ASIA 2009 will take
place for the second time at the
BITEC centre in Bangkok in October.
Despite the current global recession
woes, Thailand is actually a hive of
investment in its infrastructure and
extensions to its Suvarnabhumi
airport. This makes the show a very
attractive date in the industry diary
for exhibitors and visitors alike.
In this issue of the magazine we
show the extent of international exhibitor participation
at this event.
Also in this issue we include features on two very
important sectors of our industry — the first dedicated
to the manufacturers and suppliers of fittings, flanges
& connectors (metals, plastics & composite) and the
second to companies involved with the handling of
tubular materials.
Our next issue, published in October 2009, will be
focussing on ‘Profile Materials for tube making’ as well
as reporting on new technology in ‘Extruded Tube’.
If your company is involved in either of these sectors
then we invite you to send in editorial and pictures
for inclusion. This service is free of charge and more
information about submitting editorial is available on
our website:
We shall also be covering the 2009 FABTECH
International & AWS Welding Show, Chicago,
15-18 November. Again, if your company is exhibiting
tubular products at this event, we invite you to send us
information on what you will be displaying.
We look forward to reporting about Tube Southeast
ASIA 2009 exhibition to you at a later date, but in the
meantime, please continue to utilize our free editorial
service. There really is no better time to take advantage
of this cost-free marketing opportunity, ensuring your
company remains well-placed to take advantage of the
market when demand returns.
