The ITA was honored to have Dr.C.Ganguly,
Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nuclear Fuel Complex,
Hyderabad as Chief Guest. Dr. Ganguly’s keynote speech
included a high proportion of technical information about
the development of special tubes at the complex as well
as a balanced and well-argued view on the importance of
nuclear energy in a developing India.
Recognising the vital importance of quality
to the end-user ITA had invited customer viewpoint presentations
from the increasingly important Indian automobile industry
sector. Ms. Pamela Tikku, Asst.Director of the Society of
Indian Automobile Manufacturers gave their view, followed
by Mr.M.G.S.Kukreja, of the Automotive Component Manufacturers
Association of India. Both presentations provided highly
informative insights for tube manufacturers.
The customer viewpoints were followed
by a series of excellent technical papers covering sectors
as diverse as automobiles, oil & gas, nuclear, special
applications, water pipes and construction industries. Recycling
of zinc by-products was the closing paper of the first day.
During the evening delegates and speakers
attended a social function at the Taj Krishna Hotel. The
local Hyderabad company, ITW Signode hosted a cocktail reception
and arranged a performance of Indian classical dance that
delighted the international audience. Mr.S.Manzer Hussain
of TATA Steel hosted an al fresco dinner.
Day 2 of the conference opened with a
thought-provoking paper on measuring supply chain performance
by Mosa Al-Hadad of Saudi Steel Pipe. Then followed a session
covering equipment and the conference concluded with a final
session on finishing and testing.
The delegates present found the conference
very enjoyable and highly informative and were impressed
by the conference facilities provided. The ITA was pleased
to receive such a feedback as well as suggestions for future
conference themes and structures.
An International Tube Association technical
conference to complement Tube India International Exhibition
is certain to become an important fixture every two years
in the Indian tube and pipe industry calendar.
Tube and pipe professionals who missed

book whilst stocks last and thereafter individual papers
