Welcome to the latest Tube Products
INTERNATIONAL magazine. This issue we have a
feature on wide diameter tubes as well as three in-
depth articles from big hitters in the tube industry
– Marcegaglia, Tata Steel and Sumner.
The next show I am attending with the magazine is
Tube India in Mumbai, which I first visited in 2012
and I am very much looking forward to returning
to in October.
It will be interesting to see how the tube industry
has developed over the past four years as India
has been promising to become one of the world’s
strongest economies for a number of years now.
More than 400 exhibitors from around 25 countries
are expected to attend the event so it is very
much an international occasion. If you are also
attending please do come and say hello at one of
our two stands at the show.
There is so much potential in India, especially
in infrastructure projects such as improving
underground pipes, so hopefully companies from
around the world can exploit these opportunities
and offer their expertise, which will benefit the
people of India enormously.
Next issue we have features on pipeline inspection,
tube protection and coating, pre-insulated pipe,
and pre-bent/pre-formed tubes. The advertising
deadline is 12 September. We also have a new
sales and marketing representative working on the
magazine called Steve Singh. Get in touch with
Steve at: for more information.
I hope that you enjoy the magazine.
Contact me at
if you have any questions or
would like to submit editorial, a
technical article or a case study
to help promote your products.
