INDUSTRY NEWS W COMMENT
elcome to the April/May issue of IMT magazine, as many of us settle back into our normal routine following Tube Dusseldorf, I have to say the event was a very productive time for us all at the show. Many of you will have seen our
daily/hourly updates straight from the show to our website, this proved to be very popular with both exhibitors and readers alike - especially for those who could not attend in person.
While the event may now be over, I am sure many companies will still be following up on the contacts made for many months to come. While some said it appeared to be a little quieter than 2012, and the number of visitors were slightly down, the one thing that was immediately apparent was the impressive quality of those who attended Tube 2014.
For IMT magazine it was a very productive fi ve days, with meetings scheduled every day, plus catching up with old contacts and making new ones. Although next Tube Dusseldorf is over two years away, there is still Fabtech 2014 November 11-13, Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta (
http://www.fabtechexpo.com), and to round the year off , there is Valve World Expo - 9th Biennial Valve World Conference & Exhibition international trade fair for industrial valves and fi ttings running from 2 - 4 December 2014, again in Düsseldorf -
