MESU acquires another welder
from Thermatool Heating & Welding UK
METALLWERK Sundern Otto Brumberg
GmbH & Co, based in Germany, has
installed another 350kW HF welder
with HAZControl technology from
Thermatool. The independent, high
quality steel tube manufacturer is said
to be “delighted” with the purchase, as
Metallwerk is “a key part of a series of
strategic investments being made at
MESU”.
MESU’s family-orientated company
has more than a century’s worth of
expertise in tube product technology
and solutions. Automotive, leisure,
furniture, medical and lighting are some
of the key industries it supplies, working
on DIN EN 10305-3 and DIN EN 10305-
5 standards with precision always at the
core of its plans.
A spokesman from MESU said: “We
produce longitudinally welded precision
steel tubes on our state-of-the-art
pipe welding machines linked to other
production processes such as CNC
cutting tools, which strictly adhere to
the tightest of tolerances. Our advanced
processing and quality assurance
ensure optimal components and timely
delivery during manufacturing. Individual
requirements are in the best of hands
with us. These include applications that
require high tube strength at low weight,
such as tubes made of multi-phase
steel with high deformation properties
or micro-alloyed special grades. MESU
makes a decisive contribution to finding
environmentally friendly and energy-
efficient solutions for customers’ end
products.
“Therefore, we have to work with high-
quality partners. We enjoy the fast and
professional know-how of Mr Hasan
Simsek and his team from Thermatool.”
Mr Simsek of Thermatool added:
“From having purchased yet another
welder from us, we can clearly see
MESU are happy with Thermatool’s
products and support. We look forward
to our continued relationship and our
ambition to always strive in supplying
the highest calibre welding solutions on
the market.”

Global gas and LNG conference concludes
THE Gastech gas and LNG conference
and exhibition welcomed more than
20,000 attendees over four days. The
conference was attended by 2,500
delegates from around the world, and
hosted 200 international speakers,
across both commercial and technical
disciplines. The in-depth sessions and
panel discussions focused on topics
that are currently of importance to the
industry, and explored how gas suppliers
are adapting to the changing global
market, and key trends influencing the
sector.
The proceedings commenced with
a welcome address by Yosuke Takagi,
Japan’s State Minister of Economy,
Trade and Industry, followed by a
ribbon-cutting ceremony with members
of the Japan Gastech Consortium.
Christopher Hudson, president of
energy, DMG Events Global Energy,
commented, “It was the first time for
Gastech inJapan, and it didn’t disappoint.
A major milestone in history was made
in the world’s largest LNG market of
Japan, where the country’s biggest
energy companies came together as one
consortium to collaborate for Gastech.
The conference has played host to a
unique alliance between Japan’s most
influential companies and has brought
together hundreds of businesses from
the up-, mid- and downstream sectors
of the supply chain.”
Business leaders from companies
such as Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil,
Total and ConocoPhillips were among
those who took to the stage to address
the delegation. Specialist conference
streams focused on driving diversity
in the workforce, and attracting young
talent to the industry.
The Gastech exhibition spanned
six halls and featured 600 companies
from 50 countries, multiple networking
lounges and product showcase theatres.
Returning to Europe, following three
editions in Asia, Gastech 2018 is
scheduled to take place in Barcelona,
Spain (17-20 September 2018). The
move to Spain reflects the resurgence
of gas and LNG in Europe. The event
will be hosted by Enagás, Repsol, Gas
Natural Fenosa, Tecnicas Reunidas and
Sedigas.
