Review
Albert Sedlmaier at the dataM booth
Albert Sedlmaier, Luis Vasquez, Susana Alvarez and
Jorge Aldrete at the Rafter booth
of virtual meetings, was a true highlight.
There’s nothing like sharing a coffee or beer
to discuss future projects face-to-face.
Why Tube Mexico Matters for My Busi-
ness
Tube Mexico gives me direct access to a
niche market – ERW tube manufacturers, roll
forming companies, and related machine
builders. This is a valuable opportunity that’s
hard to find elsewhere. The groundwork
laid by Messe Düsseldorf and their strategic
partner, ITA (International Tube Association),
is evident in the success and professional-
ism of the event.
Having witnessed the rise of Tube China
back in 2004, I believe Tube Mexico has the
same potential for long-term success. I’m
proud to be part of this early stage and look
forward to seeing it grow even further.
What We Showcased
At our booth, we presented the latest gener-
ation of COPRA software solutions:
COPRA RF and COPRA FEA RF offer
powerful tools for virtual prototyping,
simulation, and design optimization in
ERW tube production and sheet metal
roll forming.
The software streamlines the workflow
from design to production – and back –
with seamless data exchange between
engineering and CNC machines.
It facilitates knowledge sharing within
teams and allows rapid response to
design changes, making manufacturing
more agile and competitive.
Final Thoughts
Tube Mexico 2025 exceeded my expecta-
tions. It was a meaningful step forward from
last year’s pilot presence and proved to be a
valuable platform for both visibility and rela-
tionship building. I left with new contacts,
deeper customer relationships, and a clear
sense of the region’s growing potential.
I’m already looking forward to what Tube
Mexico 2026 will bring.
