advancements in the areas of tube and pipe
production and fabrication.
Technical presentations will address
tube bending, welding, quick change

Manufacturers Association, Intl (FMA), the
TPA’s technology affiliate.
TPJ Symposium attendees will take part
in a session by FMA’s economist Mr Chris

networking opportunities offered in the
Metal Matters program.
There will also be keynote addresses by

the conference, together with Mr Tom
