The venue has changed for the Plastic
Pressure Pipes 2007 conference, which will
take place from 25-27 June 2007, due to a
very high number of confirmed delegates.
Organisers AMI have moved the venue from
the Renaissance Hotel to the Swissotel in
Düsseldorf, Germany.
The conference programme has also been
announced, with a packed list of high-profile
speakers and companies. The conference
will start the day after a cocktail reception
on 25 June, with AMI giving the opening
address on the prospects for pressure
pipes, followed by a discussion from
Polyplastic on the pipe markets in Russia,
Ukraine and Belarus.
There will be a keynote paper on pipe
material selection for the gas industry
from the Philadelphia Gas Works, while
Arkema will outline its experience in using
polyamide-11 in North American gas
applications. Water pipes will be discussed
by several speakers including Borealis on
water mains and Basell on polybutene-1.
Other papers on the first day will come from
Frank & Krah Wickelrohr, Rollepaal, Sica
SpA, McElroy Manufacturing, and Agru
Kunststofftechnik.
Ulrich Schulte will give the opening address
on the last day, with a paper on 50 years
of experience in HDPE pipes. Also in this
session, Ineos Polyolefins will detail its
PE100 materials with improved stress
cracking resistance. Total Petrochemicals
Research will also report on its low sagging
PE100 for thick wall pressure pipes.
With such a comprehensive program,
the conference will provide an excellent
opportunity for plastic pipe experts to meet.

Industry warned to get in early for Tube Düsseldorf
Due to the new 2008 alliance with Metav, those who intend to visit or exhibit at Tube
Düsseldorf 2008 have been warned to book up as soon as possible. Both hotel rooms
and exhibit space will be at a premium for the event, which takes place from 31 March to
4 April 2008 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Organisers Messe Düsseldorf GmbH have recently distributed international exhibitor
invitations, with details of the new synergy between Tube and wire Düsseldorf and Metav.
It is understood that Metav, the international trade fair for manufacturing technology and
automation, will occupy 56,000m2
exhibition space, which makes it both
bigger than Tube (31,000m2 ) and wire
(50,000m2).
Due to the co-staging of Metav, Tube
will be relocated away from the usual
halls of 2, 4 and 5, and instead be
situated in the new halls 8 and 8b
(currently under construction), and
existing halls 6, 7 and 7a. In order to
ensure a good flow of visitors to all the
Tube halls, Messe Düsseldorf have
decided to open the normally unused
site entrance between halls 8 and
8b, giving direct access to Tube from
adjacent parking lots.
A total of 829 exhibitors participated in
the last Tube in 2006. They occupied a
net area of 31,653m2 , with more than
28,000 trade visitors in attendance. It
is reported that 98 per cent of visitors are planning to travel to Düsseldorf again in 2008.
In 2008, approximately 830 exhibitors are expected to occupy a net area of 32,000m2,
with new areas of interest including tube trade, pipelines and logistics. wire Düsseldorf
will take place in halls 9 to 14 and the CCD Ost, while Metav will be located in halls 1-5
and 15-17.
