elcome to the September issue of International Metal Tube magazine. Now would be an appropriate time to thank our readers for sending in ideas on how they would like to see things progress in 2018.


Topics and areas of importance to those who produce and process both metal tube/pipe and sheet metal have been incorporated into the schedule of issues planned, we have also taken on board the comments regarding the delivery of news and how we share this.


The continued success of the full issue PDF has to certain degree driven our plans for 2018 but more news on that will be divulged in the December issue, for those of you planning to visit Fabtech in Early November in Chicago, remember there is a wealth of information via the website http://www.fabtechexpo. com/about that will help you plan your visit.
