The September Issue
Welcome to the latest issue of Tube &
Pipe Technology magazine.
By now I am sure many readers have their
stands booked for next year’s spectacular
Tube Düsseldorf exhibition. After making
such a significant investment my advice
would be to make the most of the show by backing it up
with editorial and marketing coverage in the magazine.
It makes sense to let people know about the new products
you will be exhibiting and, just as importantly, where your
stand will be located. This is a huge show and people often
do not have time to see every hall – never mind every
exhibitor – so getting your name seen and your products at
the forefront of visitors’ minds is vital.
By featuring in TPT you can maximise your exposure and
attract the attention of our readers before they even arrive.
Both our January and March issues will be sent to Germany
so you could submit preview editorial or an advert in
January to help build and reinforce your message.
In the November issue we will have features on tube
mills & roll forming, stainless steel production, washing &
cleaning technology and TOLexpo in France. If you would
like to submit editorial for any of these features or for our
Tube Düsseldorf issues contact me at:
I hope you enjoy the magazine.
