Review: Tube India 2018
Tube India 2018
Tube India and Metallurgy India also projected a powerful trade fair trio in 2018
For the seventh time now the Bombay Convention & Exhibition Center in Mumbai became the meeting point for the Indian and international wire, cable and met- allurgy industries from 27 to 29 November 2018.
For three days the metal trade fair trio wire India, Tube India und Metallurgy India presented the latest technologies, machin- ery, plants, services, and finished products in the wire and cable segments, pipe and tube process- ing, tube trade and metallurgy.
A total of 430 exhibitors from 26 countries travelled to the exhibi- tion halls in Mumbai. Exhibiting alongside many Indian compa- nies again were national pavilions from Austria, Italy, the USA, China and Germany.
2018 saw another increase in the area where companies showcased their technology innovations: 8,500 square metres of net exhi- bition space were occupied – 600 square metres more than at the previous events two years ago. Furthermore, the trend towards markedly bigger and higher-pro- file exhibition stands continued.
In cooperation with Messe Düssel- dorf India and the international associations IWCEA (International Wire and Cable Exhibitors Associ- ation), IWMA (International Wire & Machinery Association), ACIMAF (Italian Wire Machinery Manufac- turers‘ Association), WCISA (Wire and Cable Industry Suppliers‘ Association) as well as ITA (Inter-
national Tube Association) Messe Düsseldorf GmbH organised the three trade fairs.
The trade fair trio was again sup- ported by the Indian industrial associations SWMAI (Steel Wire Manufacturers’ Association of
India), AIWMA (All India Weld- mesh Manufacturers’ Association), INSDAG (Institute for Steel Devel- opment & Growth) and SSPC India (The Society for Surface Protec- tive Coatings – India) as well as the India Chapter of ITA.
14,617 trade visitors (includ- ing the visitors from India Essen Welding & Cutting) travelled to the exhibition halls in Mumbai to find out about news in the sector, make new contacts and expand existing business relations.
The atmosphere was characterised by busy activities in the exhibi- tion halls, valuable synergies gen- erated by the concurrent staging of the three trade fairs, and the perspectives of a good post-show business. Great decision-making skills and good technical exper- tise were the hallmarks of all the trade visitors at the stands.
