for exhibitors and visitors alike. In this issue of the magazine we show the extent of international exhibitor participation at this event. Also in this issue we include features on two very important sectors of our industry — the first dedicated to the manufacturers and suppliers of fittings, flanges & connectors (metals, plastics & composite) and the second to companies involved with the handling of tubular materials. Our next issue, published in October 2009, will be focussing on ‘Profile Materials for tube making’ as well as reporting on new technology in ‘Extruded Tube’. If your company is involved in either of these sectors then we invite you to send in editorial and pictures for inclusion. This service is free of charge and more information about submitting editorial is available on our website: www.read-tpi.com 15-18 November. Again, if your company is exhibiting tubular products at this event, we invite you to send us information on what you will be displaying. We look forward to reporting about Tube Southeast ASIA 2009 exhibition to you at a later date, but in the meantime, please continue to utilize our free editorial service. There really is no better time to take advantage of this cost-free marketing opportunity, ensuring your company remains well-placed to take advantage of the market when demand returns. We shall also be covering the 2009 FABTECH International & AWS Welding Show, Chicago,
